Continuing Education Units (CEU's)

Students who successfully complete JIFSAN courses will receive 1 CEU for each 10 hours of instruction.  Distance learning courses award the same number of CEU’s as face-to-face courses.

Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) from a competent authority are a tangible measure of the standards of the JIFSAN Food Safety Risk Analysis Professional Development Training Program, and help recognize the accomplishments of students who successfully complete our courses.  All JIFSAN courses adhere to the standards established by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET), and are granted by the University of Maryland, in the U.S.A.

Many students hold professional licenses or positions that require periodic CEU’s.  There is also a growing trend by many employers to require professional development that meets standards like the IACET.  Because of this, JIFSAN will provide CEU’s to all participants who successfully complete the courses.

Please check with your employer or professional organization to see if they will accept these CEU’s. 

Here is a small sample of the many organizations that are known to accept CEU's that meet the standards of the IACET:

American Board of Industrial Hygiene
American Nurses Association
American Water Works Association
Board of Certified Safety Professionals
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Professional Academic Review Council
State of California, Department of Health Services, Operator Certification Office
State of Indiana, Department of Environmental Management
State of Maryland, Department of Education

*CEU's accepted only after review by licensure or training board.
