The primary purpose for continuing education is to further enhance the skills of CCAs and routinely update their knowledge as new information and technologies become available. With the unprecedented pace of change and innovation in agriculture, the demands being placed on CCAs have expanded to meet these challenges. It is brought on, in part, by growing environmental concerns, consumer demands, international trade liberalization, and the use of science and communications technologies that were unthinkable a decade ago.  \nTo insure that the primary purpose of continuing education is achieved, specific requirements have been adopted that must be followed by CCAs to receive credit for continuing education activities. Continuing education activities are measured in Continuing Education Units (CEUs) . One (1) CEU is defined as one (1) hour of quality contact time in training or other qualifying activity addressing the Continuing Education Standards. You may begin accumulating CEUs from the day your certification becomes effective.  \nTo ensure that the quality of continuing education meets high standards, CEUs are subject to review by a local CCA board that must pre-or post-approve half of all submitted CEUs. Self reported CEUs are subject to random audit and will be reviewed in conjunction with all complaints.  \nOutlined below is information on cycle dates, numbers of CEUs required, and types of CEUs. Failure to comply with the CEU requirements will result in suspension or revocation of certification.  \nCycle Dates  \nYou have a two-year CEU cycle. However, new CCAs may have a slightly longer initial cycle if their certification begins mid-year. Cycle dates are:  \n\n| If the Date of Your Certification is between: | The1st year of your 2 year CEU cycle is from: | And the 2nd year of your 2 year CEU cycle is from: |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010 | January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 | January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 |\n| January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011 | January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 | January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 |\n| January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 | January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 | January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 |\n| January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013 | January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 | January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 |\n\nNumber of CEUs Required  \nAs a CCA, you must participate in 40 hours of Continuing Education Units (CEU) every two years to maintain your certification. One CEU is equal to one hour that is relevant to the Continuing Education Standards. You may review your CEU statements online at [www.certifiedcropadviser.org](www.certifiedcropadviser.org) at any time during the year. Because your board may audit your CEUs, you should keep a record of the meetings you attend keeping on file a copy of the meeting agenda or handouts as proof of attendance.  \nBy the end of your cycle date, you must have the following:  \n• A minimum requirement of 40 CEUs. Of the 40 CEUs, you must have a minimum of 5 credits in each of the following categories:  \no Nutrient Management,  \no Soil & Water Management,  \no Integrated Pest Management, and  \no Crop Management  \no A minimum of 20 of the 40 CEUs you obtain must be pre-or post-approved by a local CCABoard.  \n• A portion of your CEUs may be self reported courses that have not been board approved. Only 20 self reported CEUs will count towards your total until the above board approved minimum requirement is met. After the board approved minimum is met, any amount of self reported CEUs will count.  \n• A maximum of 20 self study board approved CEUs may be obtained in each 2 yea","cbCaijv08x08vfGs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijv08x08vfGs","pdf",401108,"English","# Continuing Education Units for Certified Crop Advisers Overview\n## CEU purpose and measurement\n## CEU review and approval rules\n## Cycle dates\n## Number of CEUs required\n## Professional Development categories\n## Types of CEUs","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of continuing education for Certified Crop Advisers?\",\"answer\":\"Continuing education is intended to enhance CCAs’ skills and keep their knowledge current as new agricultural information and technologies become available.\"},{\"question\":\"How many Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are required each two-year cycle?\",\"answer\":\"CCAs must participate in 40 hours of CEUs every two years to maintain certification.\"},{\"question\":\"How are CEUs reviewed and what happens if requirements are not met?\",\"answer\":\"CEUs are reviewed by a local CCA board that must pre- or post-approve part of submitted CEUs, and self-reported CEUs may be randomly audited.
