Understanding How Your CEU Totals are Displayed
Understanding How Your CEU Totals are Displayed
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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).
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.
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.

“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.”
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.”
