Convert IACET-style CEUs to contact hours with the relationship 1 CEU = 10 contact hours. The conversion describes quantity, not whether another credential will accept the credit.
No account required.
Calculation used
contact hours = CEUs × 10
Formula
Contact hours = CEUs × 10. For example, 1.5 CEUs corresponds to 15 contact hours under the IACET definition used here.
Do not assume transferability
A licensing board or certification body can define eligible education differently. Converting the unit does not transform an ineligible activity into accepted credit.
Keep the original record
When reporting, preserve the provider certificate and the unit it originally awarded. Use the receiving authority’s instructions if it requires a different reporting format.
