Why Earn Continuing Education Hours (CE)?

There’s a lot to keep up with in the staffing industry. Laws, rules, and regulations are ever changing, at the federal level and in every state. Then there are the changes in the marketplace, the economy, shifting employment trends, evolving human resource strategies, and more.

CE Requirements for Certification Renewal

To maintain your ASA professional credentials, certified individuals are required to:

  • Participate in 30 hours of approved CE within the three-year renewal period.
  • Submit required renewal fee (TSC, CSP dual credential requires only one renewal fee).

Note: Effective June 17, 2021, the previous CE requirements (6.00 Legal CE minimum and 12.00 Passive CE maximum) no longer applies. Earn your CE hours regardless of CE type (legal, active, or passive) as it best serves your career goals.

    • 45 minutes = 0.75 CE
    • 60 minutes = 1.00 CE

    CE Submission Guidelines and Processing Times

    As you earn CE hours to maintain your ASA credential, you must submit them to ASA using the online CE submission form. Once you submit CE hours to ASA, it may take up to three business days for the approved CE to appear in your CE status.

    When filling out your CE submission, please enter the date and time you completed the activity. For example, if on March 26, 2020, you watched an ASA On-Demand recording (which aired live on Dec. 6, 2019) you would enter the activity for March 26, 2020—the date you viewed the recording.
