*CEUs must be field related -
A CEU unit is ten contact hours of participation in an organized educational experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. For example: 10 training hours usually equals 1.0 CEU but each unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) equals 2 CEUs. Credit will be given to online CEUs.
OCA will accept any field related training taught by credible trainers. -----
