### Understanding How Your CEU Totals are Displayed

  1. YOUR PORTAL - On the main screen in your portal, locate the Certification Details displaying your CEU breakdown. You will also find your certification cycle beginning and end dates!
  2. CEU PROGRESS - Your progress is shown here, including Professional Studies (PS) CEUs and General Studies (GS) CEUs. **Only up to 2 GS CEUs can be counted for certification maintenance purposes.
  3. PPO CEU PROGRESS - This line only keeps track of your PPO CEU progress. Do not include this number in your total. PPO CEUs are a sub-category of Professional Studies; those CEUs are part of your PS total, not in addition to it.
  4. REVIEW YOUR TOTAL - Review your total CEUs earned line. Your total will not include the number shown to the right of your PPO tracking line. CALCULATING RECAP - SKIP THE PPO LINE! In short, use the PPO CEU line as a tracking feature for yourself! These CEUs will always be calculated into your total. Just remember the requirement, 1.0 of your PS CEUs must be PPO.

Happy learning!

#### ACET Purpose

RID’s Associate Continuing Education Tracking (ACET) program is a vehicle
through which the continued skill development of RID Associate members is
documented to demonstrate the individual’s commitment to and participation in
the field of interpreting.

The purpose of the ACET program is to document and track the CEUs earned for
the fiscal year by interpreters successfully completing learning activities
approved by RID sponsors.

__

#### Who Participates?

All RID Associate Members are enrolled in the ACET program. Tracking of
activities begins once the dues and fees are received for the fiscal year
(July 1 – June 30).

__

#### No CEU Requirements

Associate members have access to CEU tracking via the ACET program, but RID
does not require that Associate members earn a minimum number of CEUs during
their ACET cycle.

__

#### Why Participate?

Provides documentation for state requirements; demonstrates commitment to the
profession; provides official documentation of continuing education efforts,
which may prove useful in response to job postings and/or job advances; can be
utilized as an organization tool in maintaining records in an easy and
accurate fashion.

## ACET Testimonials.

### ACET showcases your skills.

"The benefit that comes to mind is that I do get a transcript and have used
that with my resume when applying for jobs. It has been impressive to show how
diligently I am working to improve my skills and professionalism on the climb
to certification."

###### Laura J. Sansalone

### ACET helps you stay organized.

"For me the ACET program is a big luxury for a small price. I am a very busy
woman who keeps all my certificates in one place. But to have a tracking of my
workshops helps me keep things in order for resumes and (keeps me)
professional."

###### Janice B. Otten–Rye
