Chapters & Councils CEU Providers

In June 2003, IFMA was approved by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET) to approve programs for continuing education units (CEUs). IFMA also continues to approve programs for CFM/FMP Maintenance Points. To request an evaluation of your seminar, conference or educational event, please complete a Request for the Assignment of Continuing Education Units form and fax it to the IFMA Professional Development Department at 713-623-6124.

Once you submit this form, the IFMA Headquarters professional development department will review the content of your seminar and assign it a control number and the appropriate number of CEUs and/or CFM/FMP Maintenance Points.

In order for a learning activity to be awarded continuing education points and maintenance points, there must be educational content and it must be presented in a formal classroom type environment. Therefore, CEUs cannot be assigned for field trip-type activities. For example, when attendees tour an infrastructure as part of a meeting or conference this type of activity would not count toward the CEU hours for the event. For more detailed information on what qualifies for credit please refer to the About CEUs document.

If your chapter should choose the annual CEU administrative fee of $150 (U.S.), the chapter may submit an unlimited number of evaluations in one year. Otherwise, the chapter will be billed on a per use basis of $25 (U.S.).

Please do not submit your requests after an event has taken place. We cannot assign a control number and calculate CEUs retroactively because CEUs are based upon attendance.
