Can anyone suggest some sites?
What have been some of the most interesting/best/most useful CEUs you guys have taken or have found in your travels? I’ve already done the free ones from AOTA and I’m currently waiting on my Saebo one.
I have several certs, and I am considering INE for training for CCNP, ENCORE & ENARSI probably. I want to know if anyone has successfully applied the hours training with INE as PDU's or CE's for other certifications. Of primary importance to me are CISSP, and PMP.
Have you been able to successfully apply the learning modules from INE toward renewal credits for these other certs?
THANKS!
I'm not sure what I want to take for my next cert. My Linux is up in Oct of 21. Has anyone taken:
Any kind of training courses to renew your certs?
Has anybody had to double check whether their CEU is actually going to be accepted by the State? I'm a paranoid type of person. I have a subscription to Medbridge and I at least make sure whether they are accredited and approved in Texas by the AOTA but for some reason, internally I'm thinking it's gonna get rejected and I might get punished.
I keep looking back and forth at the Texas OT Rules Guidebook but there's always a second doubt in my mind about the courses I'm taking.
Does anybody have any professional tips or advice to someone who is still quite green in this area?
I have a friend applying for jobs as an ITA and has a full stack developer certification from an accredited university with 25 continuing education units. Would these units count towards the college credits requirement?
It seems no matter where I click to try and add CEUs I am brought to a page that says "Try the new CPE Portal Today! We've made the CPE Portal faster and much easier to use. Check out the enhancements now.", and then there's no link to get to it. Not sure what to do now, can't seem to figure out where to go to add them anymore.
Hello, for those of you who have the CF-L3 that took the L1 to L2 to L3 path, how do the continuing education units work? From what I understand, you don't have to renew the L1 or L2 once you're L3 certified, but you have to take continuing education units in order to maintain L3. When you sign up to take a course that counts for continuing education, do you have to submit those units, or is it automatic? Has anyone failed to take enough continuing education units and had to revert back to L2 or L1? Thanks.
Last year I bluffed my way into a programming/IT position in a large non-profit organization. No CS/IT degree, just 8-9 months of self-directed learning and a Master's degree that could be considered within the "Knowledge Management" domain.
I build SQL databases and command-line interfaces for others to interact with these databases, but I feel like a fraud and really it's only a matter of time before I get found out by the actual IT professionals I work with (Yes I know Imposter Syndrome is real, but so is being an actual Imposter). As such, I'm looking continuing education opportunities to actually build the skills I'm supposed to already have, something similar to Penn's MCIT program. I looked at the CS program at CCP, but it seems like your only option is a full BA requiring electives and breadth requirements, etc.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice/recommendations for programs like this, preferably in-state for tuition reasons (although I guess maybe that doesn't matter for post-BA programs?).
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
I'll get right to it. I'm about to finish up my A.A.S in Information Systems with 3 undergrad certs in web dev, database dev, and java programming.
I have a 12 year old felony, and am about to turn 30, and am worried that even with an education I won't be able to get even a help desk job or something low level. Am I wasting my time with school trying to get into the IT field? I'm hoping people with lots of experience might be able to guide me.
Thank you so much!
This post is mostly a bit of venting, as someone with a degree in violin performance from a competitive school and whose partner is currently pursuing a masters in music, but I'm so tired and burnt out.
The expectation that as a masters student your family is still paying your rent and bills, so you can absolutely teach these classes for free and practice 4-6hrs a day as well as taking a full course load is just absurd. My partner TAs for two ear training courses and teaches a section of freshman theory and she's paid less than minimum wage to do so. This is on top of her coursework and discipline specific projects.
After my undergrad I started a PD at another good music school, but needing to work 40hrs a week to pay rent and bills meant that I could barely practice, so I ended up dropping out. I was one of the only graduate students at the school without family support and I was literally living off of rice and beans for a while so that I could work a little less and practice more.
Possibly the most discouraging thing is how little the professors understand this or care. I can't think of more than a couple professors (in music) I had who grew up poor or lower middle class. Nearly all were from wealthy or academic families. When I would say "Hey, I'm sorry this assignment is late/I'm not as prepared for this lesson, I've been struggling to balance work and school", most respond with "There are expectations you agreed to! Work harder!"
I love music more than anything, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to continue studying or performing while I'm stuck on this treadmill of "work to live/live to work." And it's such a kick in the teeth watching all my colleagues from wealthy families practicing every spare moment, flying to expensive festivals and taking lessons I can't afford.
If you read this far, thanks, I'm grateful. I don't know what we can do to make classical music more diverse or accessible, but I'm open to any ideas.
I'm looking to up my certification which means I need to chase more CEUs every year. What do ya'll do to keep yours current?
Our daughter (1 year) is in a nanny share and I'd like to offer our nanny some continuing education opportunities. Both families have adopted a Montessori approach, but we weren't able to get into Montessori programs locally, not to mention securing a Nanny with robust skills in Montessori. We are only hoping to keep the kids in a nanny share until they turn 3 and can get into preschool.
As a good employer (hopefully) we'd like to offer our otherwise excellent nanny some training, but covering a full AMI training course isn't realistic. For one, they are several thousand dollars from what I've seen. Second, I don't know how much our nanny desires to be a full-blown Montessori teacher. Third, we are looking to get into more formal programs once the kids are a little older, so I'm less worried about perfection now.
As parents, we can comb the internet for all the free resources but requesting our Nanny read a blog like the Kavanaugh Report isn't quite enough either as it's meant for parents and doesn't provide formal learning modules, like a continuing education program would.
Does anyone know of an introductory AMI course for caregivers that is somewhere in between? I'm okay with paying a few hundred dollars for the right course. Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm in my third year of a math degree right now, and I have an interest in getting into the quant finance / actuarial space. I'm starting to realize how little an undergraduate math program covers in terms of statistical math, especially things like stochastic processes and stochastic calculus. Part of me is very tempted to head into a Ph.D program so that I can continue learning about higher level topics. But that's also a huge time commitment.
So I'm wondering, if I try to get into industry straight out of undergrad, how much space is there for me to continue learning about higher level math? Do companies provide opportunities for this, or would it be on me? I also know that generally Ph.Ds have more career prospects in the quant finance area. Is it worth pursuing? Is a Masters a better in between option?
Hello therapists,
RMT here. I have been in the profession for 3 years now. I have some modalities such as cupping, IASTM, taping, acupuncture and myofascial release. I am curious as to what many of you have found useful by way of different courses and modalities; things you use in your daily practice or interesting courses you have taken. I work in a physio environment so any suggestions within that setting would be useful! Looking to upgrade my practice a bit. Thanks!
I'm trying to bulk up my resume and am looking for CEUs to add to it. Thanks in advance!
I usually pay $500 a year to take continuing education units (CPE) to maintain my CPA license. I get a lot of my units from Western CPE, LLC. The American Institute of CPAs and my state board also offers CPE. Would I be able to take out from a 529 to pay for these? I know many other professional licenses require CPE. Thank you!
Im in Florida, took my boards with the NMTCB. I need 12 CE hours and was wondering the best place to do them. I usually pay to do them with OMNIPATH but they seem to have closed down.
Hey all, I am looking to decide on my next continuing education endeavor and would love to get the thoughts of others. I have been in the industry for ~10 years (quant research) and have no intention of finding a new position, so this is purely for self development / enjoyment. The two options i am considering:
- ARPM (Advanced risk and portfolio mgmt)
- MS in Applied stats (online program such as Penn state or Texas A&M)
I have a MS in quant finance and some of the various financial certs (FRM, CAIA, SCR). Company will pay for both so cost is not an issue.
Both obviously would take up a bunch of time (likely 1.5 - 2 years for ARPM and 4ish for MS) so mainly considering the opportunity cost of the time commitment vs potential knowledge gained.
Thanks!
OW certified 35 yrs ago, and AOW + EAN 15 yrs ago. Unlike others here asking about refresher courses, I’ve continued to dive 4-20 dives/yr, so not looking to remember how to dive, but am interested in updating my knowledge on techniques, theory, etc that has changed since my training. Good sources?
Hi Friends! I recently started esthetician school and I am looking for recommendations for continuing education programs.
Has anyone have experience with Concepts Institute of Advanced Esthetics? I have been looking at some of their online programs and it seems pretty interesting, but personally never heard of them before.
My school itself lacks a lot of structure and education, so I am trying to find additional education other than YouTube. Any recommendations would be great! Tysm.
I work for a small company and recently switched to technical PM from software dev and my company wants to help get me some extra "foundational skills" in the form of some education. I'm considering a PMC from Product School for starters but are there some additional, more specific educational opportunities that would be more impactful in the short term and helpful in the longterm for my new career trajectory? I appreciate the help!
I just graduated NOVA this past december with my associates in Visual Arts (still waiting on my diploma lol ), I'm considering taking some continuing education classes. I have found some continuing education at nova that I will take at nova. (just photoshop) But for me the design path is rather limited. Are there any other credible continuing education institutions beside NOVA that I could classes? What are your experiences taking continuing education classes? Is it the same thing as going to regular NOVA classes?
If you have received any accredited education and/or training, which accredited institution(s) and/or entities, have you received your education and/or training from?
