A robust CEU program ensures that your AAE designation is respected and meaningful. That's why an overwhelming majority of executive members supported its creation on January 1, 1998.

For those accredited before January 1, 1998, cycles will begin January 1, 1998, and every three years thereafter. For those accredited after December 31, 1997, each cycle ends three years from the date of accreditation.

AAAE Meetings and Seminars. As an accredited member, you receive one CEU credit for each hour, and a maximum of six credits for each day you attend business sessions at the AAAE Annual Conference or other AAAE seminars and workshops.

Other Industry Meetings and Seminars. You will accrue CEU credits by attending instructional seminars and meetings presented by state AAAE chapters, state airport managers' associations, the Federal Aviation Administration, Airports Council International, the National Association of State Aviation Officials, or other appropriate aviation-related organizations. The rate of accrual is the same as it is for AAAE-sponsored events (above).

Local Management Courses. When attending a local instructional management seminar or meeting, you'll earn CEU credits at the rate of one per hour. This includes events presented by the American Management Association and American Marketing Association, computer classes, local organization seminars, and flight training.

On-site Airport Training. On-site training, and other instruction provided by the local airport, is eligible for CEU credit. In lieu of registration documents, please obtain a memo from the airport director confirming that the training meets CEU standards. One hour of instructional time earns one credit.

College Courses. Full semester college courses which are relevant to your profession and duties are worth 30 credits per course. Accredited members also receive 30 credits for teaching a college course.

Credit for Other CEU Programs. You may apply attendance at aviation-related meetings for other applicable CEU programs (such as CPA or PE designations) to your AAAE CEU program, in the same manner as you do for any other seminar or conference.
