IACET CEUs

This course gives you the opportunity to earn IACET CEUs through our parent company American Safety Council. As an IACET Accredited Provider, American Safety Council offers IACET CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. To earn IACET CEUs, you must:

  • Complete all lessons in the course,
  • Correctly answer every quiz question posed through the course, and
  • Complete the course evaluation.

Assessment Information: This online course presents each section with commentary, a graphic illustration or photograph, and requires the learner to answer multiple choice questions after reviewing the content. The learner must complete all multiple-choice questions for each section correctly to get IACET CEUs, a certificate of completion, or state license renewal credit for the course. If the learner's first response is incorrect, learners will be immediately allowed to answer the question again until the correct answer is chosen. Question choices are randomized, so each participant will have a unique testing experience

Prerequisites: This course has no prerequisites.
