How many Contact Hours (CEUs) are there in a Continuing Education Unit?
There are 10 Contact Hours in a standard Continuing Education Unit. If you take a self-study course, and earn 4 CEUs then you have earned 40 Contact Hours. The California State Water Resources Control Board uses Continuing Education Points (CEPs). Each CEP is worth 10 Contact Hours.

Each of these CEUs may less than the standard IACET CEU.
