All of our respiratory courses, except for the CRT, are approved by the AARC for Category 1 Continuing Education (CE) credit.
Our Radiology Review is approved by the ASRT for Category A CE credits. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion showing the
number of credits you have earned. Keep in mind that you must attend the entire seminar in order to receive your certificate of completion.

HomeStudy Courses (Non-Traditional CE Credits)
Each of our respiratory HomeStudy courses, except for the CRT, has been approved by the AARC for Category 1 “Non-traditional” Continuing Education (CE) credit.
To earn credits for the Clinical Simulation HomeStudy, you will be required
to complete 16 simulations and provide us your scores showing that you passed at least 9 Information Gathering scoring thresholds and at least 8 Decision Making scoring
thresholds. For more information, refer to the reverse side of the "Thank You" sheet included in your HomeStudy materials.
For all other HomeStudies, you will be required to take a short proficiency exam (usually around 25 questions) that we provide to you.
To obtain the proficiency examination, please contact our office once you have completed the HomeStudy.
A certificate showing that you have earned the HomeStudy credits will be mailed to you once you receive a score of 80% or better on the proficiency exam.
Since AARC approval is granted only one calendar year at a time, the CE Profiency Exam must be taken and returned to our office by the end of the
calendar year in which you receive your HomeStudy in order to guarantee that you will receive a certificate.
Our HomeStudies have been approved for the following credits:

Please note: Category 1 "Non-traditional" CE credits are not accepted in every state. The term "Non-traditional" signifies credits earned outside a typical classroom
setting, such as HomeStudy courses. Some states only allow a certain number of credits to be earned outside the classroom. You will need to check with your state to verify acceptance of or limitations to the use of “Non-traditional” hours
toward your CE requirements.
