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 simply use different terminology and various criteria for professional development. A “CEU” stands for continuing education unit. For instance, the American Medical Association issues “CME’s” – Continuing Medical Education.

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-CEUs Transcript online. If you are an ASET member, log in to the member login fields with your username and password and click on ASET-CEUs Transcript on the Member welcome page to view or print your current ASET-CEUs Transcript.  The database is always being updated with new courses; however, if you feel your transcript is incorrect please contact the ASET Executive Office at [email protected]. ASET-CEUs awarded by outside organizations, may take 4-6 weeks to post to your account after we receive the attendance roster. Thank you for your patience.   

Even with institutional memberships, each employee is given their own ASET ID number and individual member log in information. ASET-CEU transcripts are updated each Monday with completions from the previous week. To access your transcript as a member, log into www.aset.org then after being directed to the members only page select “My ASET-CEU Transcript”. This will open a PDF document that is downloadable.

ASET also tracks non-members but only if the writing is legible and a valid mailing address has been included on rosters. Non-members are charged $25 per transcript.

If you feel your transcript is in error or incomplete, contact the ASET Executive Office. There may be several reasons for this.

• The sponsoring organization of the program may not have applied for ASET-CEUs.
• You may not have signed in on an ASET-CEUs Roster; therefore, we have no way of knowing you attended. If you received a certificate of participation from the sponsoring entity, you can submit a copy of that information to ASET or have the meeting coordinator verify your participation to ASET, but the event must be approved for ASET-CEUs.
• It may be sooner than the attendance was processed.  The sponsoring organization of the program is responsible for submitting attendance rosters to ASET within two 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.
• For non-members, we can update your record upon submission of information that confirms your attendance – as long as the program originally applied for ASET-CEUs.

Make certain you sign in on the attendance roster at any event.  If you did not sign in on an ASET-CEUs Roster, we have no way of knowing you attended. If you received a certificate of participation from the sponsoring entity, you can then submit a copy of that information to ASET or have the meeting coordinator verify your participation to ASET, but the event must be approved for ASET-CEUs.

Typical webinars are 1 hour in length and are awarded 1 CEU.  Extended webinars may be 3-12 CEUs depending on their length.

For one hour conference calls, ASET awards one ASET-CEUs. If you attend the live conference call seminar, your attendance record will serve as proof of your attendance. Each conference call seminar registration allows for one technologist to receive credit. And additional technologists may sign the roster, pay a $5 fee and receive credit as well. It is possible for several technologists to use a speaker phone and participate simultaneously. 

No. You must pass all the tests included in the online course to earn the credits. If you fail you may retake the course, but you will have to pay the registrations fee to access the course again.

NO! Proof of continuing education and its accuracy for recertification is the responsibility of the individual. ASET recommends that you keep a file of meetings you have attended noting the number of credits issued for each event. It is also helpful to keep the meeting brochure as it typically lists the number of continuing education credits.

Those who passed the written EEG and/or EP exam between 1997 and 2013, initially earned a 10-year credential and must submit 60 hours of continuing education by the end of the 10th year. After your first 10-year recertification, you will be issued a five-year credential with 30 hours of continuing education due by the end of the fifth year.
Technologists who have earned a CNIM and/or CLTM credential are awarded a five-year certification. To renew this credential, technologists must submit 50 hours of continuing education by the end of their fifth year.

If you use the ABRET credential management system to report your continuing education information for recertification purposes, you do not need to manually enter all of your ASET-CEUs activity into the ABRET credential center. You can now save a copy of your ASET-CEUs transcript as a PDF file and simply upload that file into the ABRET website.

When I complete an online course, can I print a certificate? Yes, you can print a certificate of completion as long as you satisfy the completion requirement and earn a passing grade.

If you have a pop-up blocker on your computer, you must disable the pop-up blocker to access this certificate.
