Pre-Approved Courses

Have you attended other conferences or taken an IARP Webinar? There is a chance that you can submit your certificate for free if the conference/webinar has been pre-approved. Check with ABVE Headquarters to see if any session you attended has been pre-approved by emailing [email protected].

Please fill out the pre-approved CE form to have these CEUs added to your record. Required documentation: Verification of Attendance/Completion.


Alternative CEs

All applicants seeking approval of Alternative CE’s must submit a completed application, pay the required fee, and submit the supporting documents at the time of the application. There will be no consideration given to applications without the required documentation which is listed below and on the application form.

Please be sure to:
1. Complete one form for each alternate continuing education event or program
2. Submit a verification of attendance/completion with each application form
3. Submit program description to allow discernment of Forensic Applicability
4. Submit the required fee ($75 - $125 organization approval, $15 individual approval)

Please allow 6-8 weeks for Alternative CEU’s to be approved. The deadline for Alternative CEU applications to be submitted for the 2025-2027 CEU cycle is December 31, 2027.

An Alternative CE Application and $15 processing fee must be submitted to ABVE for each AAACEU course taken that is not ABVE pre-approved. Doing so will enable you to receive credit toward your certification requirement.

You will need:

  • A copy of the official attendance form for the activity, signed and dated by an authorized party representing the sponsoring agency. This form shall have the sponsoring agency’s telephone number listed so that members of the ABVE CEU Committee may call the agency to discuss forensic application of the sponsored activity.
  • A copy of the program/seminar brochure which indicates the dates of the activity, the sponsoring agency, the total hours allocated to the activity, a detailed description of the objectives and content of the learning sessions so that the ABVE CEU Committee can determine if it meets the 16 Core Forensic Competency Areas.
