How to Sponsor a CEU Workshop

To have your workshop listed as an RID Sponsor approved activity:

• Contact an RID sponsor at least 45 days before the date of the workshop to be approved for RID CEUs.
• Sponsors will provide you with the necessary paperwork to approve the activity for RID CEUs.
• CEUs for traditional activities will be determined on the formula of one (1) CEU being equal to ten (10) contact hours.
• CEUs for non-traditional activities, where the method of educational delivery does not lend itself to easy translation, will be determined by the sponsor who will note the method for determining CEUs in the Activity Plan Form.
