Q: How do I get my program accredited with NFI CEUs?

A: Once the course content has been finalized, complete the NFI CEU Application online. It is very important that your application be completed and submitted to NFI well in advance of your scheduled course. The application deadline for receiving applications for an event is 30 days prior to the course date. The reason for this length of time is because staff must ensure that all the information required is received and understood and to give the CEU Committee time to review the materials and report their recommendations to staff before your event. The CEU Committee is comprised of industry volunteers, each of whom either has their own full-time position or has a business to run. Therefore, your timeliness is essential. *If your materials are not in electronic format, you may send them to:
