About Skelly Skills

CDR-approved and CBDCA-approved provider of Continuing Professional Education for RD/RDNs, CDCESs, APDs, and DTRs since 2004.

Our mission is to provide practical and cutting edge skills for health professionals that will meaningfully change your practice now. By offering courses that will improve your skills in behavior change, education, entrepreneurship and emerging research, we help move practices forward—creating more fulfilling and successful careers.

How it Works

Our Terminology

Skelly Skills uses the terminology, “Continuing Education (CE)” and “Continuing Professional Education Unit (CPEU)”. Some practitioners may refer to “CE” as “Continuing Professional Development (CPD)”. “CPEUs” are also synonymous with Continuing Education Units (CEUs), “clock hours,” and “CPD hours.”

Course Types

We offer two types of courses — self-study CE courses and CE webinars. Some self-study courses are e-books or e-articles, others are printed books, and some have the option to choose between either format.

Testing & Certificates

Self-study courses include CE exams. CE Webinars do not include an exam (unless it is a Webinar series), but do require a completed feedback survey. Certificates of completion with number of CPEUs/CEUs/assessable CPD hours are issued for all course types following successful exam or survey completion and are delivered as pdfs.
