Where and How Can I Earn Tier 1 Continuing Education Hours?

Conferences

If you are seeking Tier 1 Continuing Education through a conference, it is up to the conference organizers whether to offer Tier 1 Continuing Education. If you are active in your state academy, ask the organizers of your state meeting to offer Tier 1 CE required for ABA recertification. Information on how to do so may be accessed here.

If Tier 1 CE is being offered at a particular meeting, it should state that on the conference materials.AudiologyNOW! does offer Tier 1 Continuing Education. You must participate in the Academy's CE Registry and earn 80% or better on the self-assessment to earn Tier 1 CE through conferences.

Distance Education or Self-Study

Additionally, currently there are three convenient ways to earn Tier 1 hours wherever you are located:
  1. Seminars in Hearing
  2. e-Audiology
  3. Ethics in Audiology (the "Green Book")

Seminars in Hearing
