How are CECs calculated?
A. A course is assigned CECs (continuing education credit) based on the amount of time that is spent in the educational portion of a course, for each hour of structured learning ACE assigns 0.1 CEC. Credit is not received for activity courses, master classes, time taking exams or breaks, or non-related courses that prepare participants for distinctly different professions. Courses must be relevant to your ACE certification. University extension classes do not automatically qualify for CECs, however you may petition for approval. Semester = 1.0 per unit. Quarter = 0.8 per unit. A letter grade of “C” or higher is required from accredited colleges/universities. A grade report or transcript (does not need to be an official transcript sent from the school – can be a copy issued to student) is needed to apply for CECs.
