2022 AHEAD CEUs

To support your professional development goals, AHEAD has arranged Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) and the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID).

Additionally, if you maintain certification or licensure from another agency that requires continuing education, AHEAD can document your attendance at the conference to support your application for independent CEUs from your organization. Instructions for each are below.

CEUs have been pre-certified for:

• the on-site AHEAD Conference sessions and
• the virtual mini-conference.

Instructions for the in-person conference:

1. Pick up the Attendance Sheet and instructions from the Moderator/CEU Table in the AHEAD Conference registration area.
2. Keep the Attendance Sheet with you throughout the conference and use it to record the sessions you attend.
3. Collect attendance verification signatures after each session from the moderator, presenter, or AHEAD staff present at the session.
4. At the end of the conference, total your hours and bring your Attendance Sheet and Certificate Request to the registration desk. An AHEAD staff member will review your attendance and provide you with a signed Verification of Completion
5. When you return home, log in to the CRCC website and upload the signed Verification of Completion form to CRCCConnect per their instructions.

If you forget to get a Verification of Completion form completed by an AHEAD staff member while you are at the conference, you may scan and email your Attendance Sheet and Certificate Request to ahead@ahead.org, and they will review it and email you the Verification of Completion.

Instructions for the Virtual Mini-Conference:

1. List the sessions you viewed on the Virtual Attendance Sheet (Word Doc).  In addition to the real-time (live) sessions, you may also watch other session recordings later, and add them to this form.
2. When you have watched all sessions for which you intend to claim CEUs (live or recorded), scan and email your completed Virtual Attendance Sheet and Certification Request to ahead@ahead.org AHEAD staff will review your form, verify in our online records that you viewed those sessions, and then send you a signed Verification of Completion
3. After receipt, log in to the CRCC website and upload the signed Verification of Completion form to CRCCConnect per their instructions.

If you attend sessions from both virtual and in-person conferences, you must complete each form separately to document your attendance.

You cannot claim credit for both the in-person and the virtual version of the same session.
