CEU info:

Each ACDIS Podcast episode now offers 0.5 ACDIS CEU which can be used toward recertifying your CCDS or CCDS-O credential for those who listen to the show in the first two days from the time of publication.

To receive your 0.5 CEU, go to the show page on acdis.org, by clicking on the “ACDIS Podcast” link located under the “Free Resources” tab. To take the evaluation, click the most recent episode from the list on the podcast homepage, view the podcast recording at the bottom of that show page, and click the live link at the very end after the music has ended.

The cut-off for today’s episode CEU is Sunday, May 11, at 11:00 p.m. eastern. After that point, the CEU period will close, and you will not be eligible for the 0.5 CEU for this week’s episode.
