Help - Getting Started with CEUfast

CEUfast is a subscription-based service. Free certificates of completion of choice are not currently advertised or provided. We are currently offering one free course to provide a certificate of completion at no charge: Click here to view our free course This course is provided as a courtesy "Thank You" for trying the site out, regardless of the final decision to subscribe or not. CEUfast offers a free account in order to allow users to view all courses and take any tests in order to see how the site works before making a purchase decision.

The CEUfast "Free" and "Subscription Expired" status accounts allow users to view all courses and take tests to try CEUfast before making a purchase decision. Certificate history completed on a "free" or "subscription expired" account is stored for a period of 6 months from the date of completion. Should you decide to use CEUfast to obtain certificates of completion for credit, you can subscribe at any time before the 6 month period has passed in order to save your certificates permanently on your account. However, once the 6 month period has passed, unpurchased certificates are purged from the database and are not recoverable. Please note, subscriptions provide unlimited access for obtaining certificates of completion for the length of time purchased. Once purchased, you own them and can return at any time in the future to access those certificates of completion at no additional charge.

Once a subscription is purchased, you can obtain as many certificates of completion and contact hours as you like, while your subscription is active. There are no additional costs or hidden fees. Once a subscription has expired, access to certificates completed while it was active will continue to be available.

Should you decide to use the service, simply purchase a subscription. Subscriptions give you unlimited access to certificates for one year from the date of purchase.

To see a list of all currently available courses, click on "Courses", found at the top of the page, from the homepage. At the top of the Course Library page, select your profession and state to view applicable courses. You can also view courses by topic or search for courses using the keyword search field. By default, all courses will appear in alphabetical order. You can click the "Show All Courses" link at any time to clear your previous choices and view our complete course library. For a video tutorial on how to search for courses, please click here.

Taking a Test Once you have studied the course material and are ready to take the test, click the “Take Test” button located at the top right of each course page. Alternatively, you can click the "Take Test" link found to the right of the course title on the Course Library page. Next, answer the questions on the test by selecting the small circle by the answer you wish to select. Each time you select an answer on the test, your progress is saved.  You can leave and resume your test progress at any time, from any device. Please note: You must answer all questions before you can submit a test. Once you have completed the exam, be sure to click the "Grade Exam Now" button located at the bottom of the test in order to submit your test for grading. Grading is an automated process that allows for your test results to be displayed immediately after submission.  Retaking a Test Tests can be taken as many times as you like, with no waiting period in between attempts. Each time you successfully complete a test (score 80% or above), you can obtain a new certificate with a new date of completion. However, keep in mind that your state will only accept credit for the same course once within the same renewal period. In most states, the renewal periods are every two years. Once you have started a new renewal period, you can take the same course again and receive credit for the course.  

Once you have successfully passed a test, and have an active subscription, you can access certificates of completion by visiting your account home page and looking under the “Transcript” area. By default, you will see all the courses you have completed in the immediate last two years from the current date.  If you would like to view all certificates you have completed since you first started your CEUfast account, you can click the “Show All” button located on the "Transcript" toolbar.  You can also choose to display all the certificates for a specific year by clicking the “By Year” button and choosing a year (only the immediate last four years will be available by this method).  Additionally, from the Transcript Toolbar, you can select a date range to view any certificates completed between the specified dates picked. Each time you select a different view, you will see the total number of hours completed for your selected time period automatically calculated for you. Ideally, you would want to put the start date of the current renewal cycle, and the end date, in order to get the most accurate total for the current renewal cycle. You can print, save, or email any certificate by clicking on the title of the course in your "Transcript" area or by clicking the “View” button to the right of each course title. To print, save, or email multiple certificates (multiple selection feature available on computer/laptop only), place a check in each select box to the left of each course title and select the “Print Selected”, “Email Selected”, or “Save Selected” buttons at the top of the “Transcript” area. Alternatively, you can select all certificates you a currently viewing by clicking the “Select” option next to the “Course Title” header label.
