How do I calculate IACET CEUs for an online or distance learning course?
The provider should establish a standard number of contact hours based on an average number of hours required by several representative learners to complete the distance learning program. A provider desiring to introduce a new self-paced learning program, for example, might select a representative sample from the intended audience to complete the learning program. Each member of the sample records the actual amount of time spent completing the learning program. The number of hours spent by all members of the sample is totaled, averaged, and divided by 10 to determine the appropriate number of CEUs for that program.
