A certified operator who is teaching an approved CEU course shall, upon receipt of documentation, receive credit equal to the CEUs approved for that course. The CEU credit can be received only once for a particular course during the two-year renewal cycle. A certified operator who teaches an approved residence course (required for an examination) may use this experience for one-half of the required CEUs needed to renew his license. This credit can be received only ONCE during that CEU renewal cycle. If you have a C or D and any other license, you will need the CEU requirement for each individual license.
