How do I complete a course with PhysicalTherapy.com?
After participating in a live webinar, recorded, audio, or text-based course, you will be required to achieve a passing score of 80% on a multiple-choice exam. You will be given immediate feedback regarding the results of your exam and a second opportunity to pass the exam if necessary.
To earn credit for a live webinar, you must be logged into the entire event and complete the exam within seven days; for a recorded, audio, or text-based course, you must complete the exam within 30 days of the course registration date. If you do not complete the exam within those time parameters, you must re-register for the course. You can access your CE exams by clicking on Dashboard or Pending Courses on the navigation sidebar. After passing the exam, you will be required to complete a course evaluation in order to receive a certificate of completion for the course. Please note that you will not be allowed to complete more than 24 hours of coursework on any calendar day.

What is the difference between CEUs and the length of a course (course hours)? How does this relate to CCUs?
Course length is reported differently by different associations and state licensing boards. Some use the internationally recognized Continuing Education Unit (CEU) as the standard unit of measuring participation in a continuing education course. One (1.0) CEU is defined as 10 hours of participation in coursework. Therefore, a single hour of participation in a course is equal to 0.1 CEUs. Some associations and state licensing boards use clock hours. ProCert/FSBPT awards CCUs. CCUs are a unit of relative value of an activity based on its evaluation against a rigorous and comprehensive set of standards representing the quality of an activity. The CCU determination is a valuation applying many factors including but not limited to the duration of the activity. No conclusion should be drawn that CCUs correlate to the length of the course (e.g., hours).
