CECs (Continuing Education Credits) are a points system used to measure education programs, activities, and events that improve existing skills or develop new ones.

Various industries have a registration body/industry association, whose role is to protect and promote the interests of their members and provide access to industry-specific information, training, and resources. The health and fitness industries are constantly evolving — CECs are a way to ensure that you’re evolving with the industry and staying up to date with the latest developments and standards.

An industry professional pays a registration fee to belong to and receive benefits offered by this registration body. Benefits include access to career opportunities, industry events, course discounts, insurance and more. In order to remain a member of this body, a member needs to complete a certain number of courses each year to keep a current registration. These are CECs — Continuing Education Courses.

CECs are awarded based on the quality and duration of an education program, activity, or event. For example, those that include an assessment of knowledge and skill gained will have higher CECs. You can earn CECs with many Endeavour Short Courses - just look for the CEC badge!

CPE stands for Continuing Professional Education – Continuing Professional Education refers to courses and training required for a professional to remain certified in a particular field. This model ensures that professionals are continuously learning and staying up to date with relevant industry information. Many associations require proof of this, which comes in the form of CPE points/credits.

CPE points/credits are attributed to courses and training that provide an industry professional with relevant knowledge in a particular field. In this case, the natural health field.

Endeavour Short Courses offers CPE courses that are worth a certain amount of CPE points. Successfully completing a CPE course means gaining points that can be used for membership of professional bodies. They also demonstrate that you’re investing in lifelong learning.

It depends on the association but approximately one point per course hour.

Not necessarily, although if you have no background at all in the course you will have a steeper learning curve as you get your head around the basic concepts, language, terminology etc.

It depends, as each course is different. We've listed the course duration on each course page.

A Credly badge – A digital representation of a learning outcome, experience or competency in a certain field.

The content in our CPE courses has been taken from Endeavour's bachelor degrees. They’re more in-depth and generally take longer to complete than our regular short courses. On top of this, you can receive CPE points when you’ve completed the course and have a real-life person marking and giving feedback on your assignments (which you don't have in our other short courses). 

CPE courses are higher in price as they’re more in-depth, take longer to complete, and have a real-life subject matter expert providing you with feedback and marking your assignments.

You have 12 months of access to the course content.

After completing an Endeavour short course, you’ll receive a  Credly badge. You can add the badge to your resume and share it on your socials. When you attain a series of Credly badges, you may be eligible to apply for credit into selected degrees at Endeavour College of Natural Health.
