The formula to calculate continuing education units is:
\[ CEU = \frac{CT}{10} \]
Where:
The total contact time can be further broken down into:
\[ CT = \frac{MFA - MNAA}{60} \]
Where:
A continuing education unit (CEU) is defined as 10 hours of contact of learner interaction with the content of the activity achieving a goal of supporting a learning outcome. These units are used to evaluate professionals' ability to continue learning and maintain their licenses in their fields.
Example 1:
Calculation:
\[ CT = \frac{600 - 60}{60} = 9 \text{ hours} \] \[ CEU = \frac{9}{10} = 0.9 \text{ CEUs} \]
Example 2:
Calculation:
\[ CT = \frac{1200 - 100}{60} = 18.33 \text{ hours} \] \[ CEU = \frac{18.33}{10} = 1.83 \text{ CEUs} \]
