Theory Hours versus Hands-On Practice Hours
Many Practitioners are not aware of how their association or regulating body accredits hands-on practice hours versus theory study hours for online courses. All of our courses have a theory portion and a hands-on practice portion. The hands-on practice portion of our online courses are equivalent to any hands-on practice you would have done in a classroom setting, This means you can still fulfill your hands-on practice requirements of CEUs with any of our online courses.
