Continuing Education FAQs
How can I meet my CEU requirements?
NAPS has approved many different ways you can obtain CEU credits, including independent study courses,
NAPS annual conference, state and regional conferences & seminars, independent trainers and consultants,
college courses, professional book/audiotape reviews and in-house training. All of these methods must
be approved by NAPS to qualify for the continuing education compliance program.
What are the requirements?
The NAPS continuing education program requires that every year from the date of certification you must
meet 17 education hours (often referred to as contact hours) or 1.7 continuing education units (CEUs).
How is a CEU measured?
1 hour of staffing education equals .1 CEU; 10 hours of staffing education equals 1 hour. Therefore
each certified professional must have at least 17 hours of continuing education every year.
How do I track my CEUs?
NAPS will provide you with a log sheet to record all CEUs. This is your responsibility. In order to
keep your certification intact you must submit the log sheet every year to NAPS headquarters, along
with a $27 administrative fee. DO NOT send any backup materials to prove compliance, such as letters
and certificates, unless these are requested by NAPS.

Does a seminar or training program have to be industry related to qualify for CEUs?
Programs should address either your professional or personal training needs as it relates to the staffing
industry. They may either be grounded in industry subject matter or deal with personal issues such as
time management and leadership development, which will help you grow as a professional. Programs that
do not meet these guidelines will not qualify.
If I am dually-certified as a CPC and CTS how many CEUs must I acquire over the year?
Holders of both designations need to only acquire 1.7 CEUs or 17 continuing education hours.
Do I qualify for CEU credits if I am a trainer myself?
NAPS abides by the standards of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training
(IACET) which limits CEUs to only those being trained. CEUs cannot be achieved by preparing or
delivering training programs.
What if I am unable to comply with the CEU requirements every year?
Unless there are extenuating circumstances, you may elect to retake the CPC or CTS exam at the full
registration cost. If you should pass, your certification will be renewed for another year.
