About Skelly Skills Continuing Education Courses

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 couses — 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.
