CE courses are available on the NCCT website, on a CD, and in printed form (individual courses or pre-set collections of courses in books). Your recertification notice will include an order form for you to request the type of CE product you wish to use, or if you wish to do your courses and tests online. Please note that if you request printed materials, a CD will be included. If you cannot use the CD, you do not need to return it to NCCT. You may give it to someone else or discard it.

Website/Online CE Testing:  Use of the website to complete your CE is included with your recertification fee.

1. All courses in the CE library are available for review on the NCCT website. Review the courses and select the ones you want to complete. After reading the course material, CE tests can be taken in paper/pencil format or online. 
2. To open any of the files on the website, your computer must have Adobe Reader, version 7.0.5 or higher, installed on the hard drive. There is an Adobe icon on the Download Courses tab that will allow you to download this program at no charge.
3. To download a course, select Recertification/CE and then select Download Courses from the drop-down menu.  Select the Course Number to download a course.  NOTE: For best results, save the Adobe PDF files to your hard drive first and then open them in Adobe Reader. If you attempt to open PDF files directly in your internet browser, you may encounter difficulties.
4. When the course has opened, you can read it off the computer screen or print it out to read at a more convenient time.
   • Some courses include color. To save on the use of color ink, change your printer properties to print in black/white or switch to a black printer cartridge.
   • If you are reading from the computer screen, make sure the page width is large enough to easily view. If it is not, use the Zoom button on the standard toolbar to increase the view to 100%, Page Width, or Text Width.
5. Paper/pencil testing: After reading the course, complete the answer sheet exactly as described in the CE Answer Sheet Instructions.  If you are completing a P.A.C.E.® approved course, complete the evaluation form included with the course.
6. Online testing: After reading the course, follow the instructions found on the CE Login page to take a CE test.  If you have completed a P.A.C.E.® approved course test, there will be a link to the P.A.C.E.® evaluation form on the Test Results page.
7. Repeat preceding steps until you have completed the number of Clock Hours that you have purchased.
