Continuing Education Update to Board Certified Polarity Practitioners
The content provided in eligible CEU activities must correspond to at least one of the exam content domains as identified by the most recent Job Analysis.
It is recognized that there may be variations in the quality of educational content across providers and across various delivery methods. Therefore, only continuing education activities (coursework, conference attendance, etc.) conducted by providers that are approved by the APTA Education Director are permitted. Certificants may contact APTA to ensure an activity meets the requirements for CEUs before submitting the recertification application.
