Credentialing organizations, such as ABRET and BRPT, accept ASET CEUs to satisfy recertification requirements. Continuing education may be a condition of employment or part of an ongoing performance evaluation or promotion process. Additionally, you may be asked to provide proof of your education and training by a prospective employer to document occupational competence.

Organizations use different terminology and various criteria for professional development. A “CEU” stands for continuing education unit. ASET CEUs are granted to educational programs and offerings that meet high quality standards for neurodiagnostic professional education after an application and review process. These are approved after a comprehensive review of the content and speaker’s qualifications.

ASET ONLY tracks programs and meetings from entities that have applied for ASET CEUs. Such organizations will advertise that the meeting qualifies for ASET CEUs. Other events will not be recorded and will not be reflected on your transcript. Check with the hospital or sponsoring organization to determine if their program has applied for ASET CEUs. This does not mean that other events will not count for recertification from credentialing organizations. For more information, refer to Question 15.

Refer to Question 4.

ASET members can view their ASET CEU transcript online. If you are an ASET member, log in to your account with your username and password; from your profile page, click on transcript link and then ASET education credits. You will see your earned ASET CEUs on this page and can download your transcript.  The ASET CEU database is consistently being updated – please allow 4 weeks for ASET CEUs to populate to your transcript. If you feel your transcript is incorrect, please contact Charlene Layer, ASET’s Education Coordinator: [email protected]; 816-631-9728.

With institutional memberships, each employee has their own ASET ID number and individual member log-in information. To access your ASET CEU transcript, log in to your account with your username and password; from your profile page, click on transcript link and then ASET education credits. You will see your earned ASET CEUs on this page and can download your transcript.

ASET will track ASET CEUs for non-members on the condition that you have created an ASET account and are providing an accurate ASET ID to each sponsoring organization.  You can purchase an individual ASET CEU transcript via our store: ASET CEU Transcript. The cost is $30.

If you feel there is an error on your ASET CEU transcript, please contact Charlene Layer, ASET’s Education Coordinator at [email protected]; 816-631-9728. There may be several reasons for missing CEUs:

• The sponsoring organization did not apply for ASET CEUs for their educational event.
• You did not complete the attendance requirements or did not provide an accurate ASET ID to the sponsoring organization. If you received a certificate of participation/attendance from the sponsoring entity, you can email it to Charlene at [email protected] for verification.
• The ASET CEUs have yet to be added to your ASET CEU transcript. The sponsoring organization of the program is responsible for submitting attendance rosters to ASET within three weeks of the completed program. It then takes approximately two weeks for ASET to enter the information, so please allow adequate time for the data to be entered into your record.

Make sure to submit information required for attendance for each educational event, as they differ among sponsoring organizations. Verify the accuracy of your ASET ID, which can be found on your profile page upon logging into your ASET account. If you encounter difficulties locating your ASET ID, email [email protected]. Do not list your ABRET registry number(s) in place of your ASET ID. Your ABRET registry number is different from your ASET ID.

At this point you will have entered the recertification process and going forward will submit the required number of CEUs every five years. For more information, please visit ABRET’s website.
