How bundle accreditation works
This bundle contains two separately completed courses. Continuing-education approvals are therefore recorded course by course—not as one universal 10-hour approval. Approved hours and acceptance can differ by course, profession, board and jurisdiction.
Select an included course below to review its published approval bodies and hours. Before enrolling, confirm that the individual course and number of hours meet the requirements of your own licensing board, association, employer or regulatory authority.
