Skelly Skills offers two types of Continuing Education (CE), also known as Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The two types of CDR-approved CE we offer are:
For each of these types of CE, we offer Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs — also called CEUs, clock hours, or CPD hours).
Our prior approved enduring CE courses all include a CE exam. This is important for some of you because you *may* be limited by the number of prior approved enduring (aka self-study) hours you can accumulate. For each course, you will need to complete the CE exam through our online testing system. It’s easy and you’ll get your CE Certificate of Completion as soon as you pass the course (or complete the Feedback Survey, in the case of our one-hour on-demand CE webinars).
Our live CE webinars include a Feedback Survey. Within 24 hours of the live webinar, we will send an email with the Assessment ID and Key ID to complete the Feedback Survey through our testing system. Once you complete that, you’ll immediately be able to print and/or download your CE Certificate of Completion (it will also be emailed to you).
Step 1: Visit Skelly Skills and choose the topic and book or other course type you want to study. The number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours are shown on each product page. Note to international customers: You can change the display currency using the icons on the right of the page.
Step 2: Pay online—you’ll get virtual courses immediately or else you’ll receive the book in the mail along with the CE exam booklet (we call this a ‘CE Evaluation’). Note: for books that we publish in-house, we include the CE exam and testing info in the back of the book, not as a separate booklet.)
Step 3: Study the course content. Once you have finished, complete the online exam at our testing site using the Assessment ID and Key ID (password) provided to you in the CE Evaluation, or on the course webpage if you are completing an on-demand webinar or online course.
That’s it! Once you have passed your exam, you’ll receive a PDF certificate of completion which includes the number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours.
Purchase your webinar and receive a link to the webinar immediately.Â
Watch your webinar and then submit the CE Feedback Survey form by the course expiration date.
After submitting your CE Feedback Survey, you will be able to download your CPEU/CEU certificate as a pdf and keep for your records.

Dana M Elia, DCN, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND –
This is a great book and course necessary for any provider who is considering making supportive supplementation recommendations using adaptogens.
Nancy “Paige” Currie, RDN, LD, Public Health Dietitian, Jackson, MS –
I previously had very limited knowledge on adaptogens and I feel I now have a good base to continue to build my knowledge and hopefully one day use in my practice.
Jacqui Pressly, RDN, Pittsburgh, PA –
The book was wonderful, and the author presented the information in a way that was understandable, interesting, and backed by solid research. I learned why and how an herb is classified as an adaptogen, and how they regulate certain internal processes, and how they help the body control the stress response. I learned the most important aspects of adaptogens, probable adaptogens, possible adaptogens, nervines, nootropics and restorative tonics. I learned about the history of herbs and the use of herbs in different cultures. I learned about the health benefits of adaptogens. I learned the reasons why some herbs don’t qualify as adaptogens. Overall, it was a great learning experience that gave me the incentive to look further into the subject to increase my knowledge in the field of herbs and natural medicine.
Michelle Goodrow, MS, RDN, Executive Director Food and Nutrition Services, Apple Valley, CA –
I felt the book was very informative and thorough. It provided insight to the many options available for individuals who may want to try natural options versus pharmaceuticals. I can help my patients understand that adaptogens can help improve their everyday life, improve the effectiveness of their current medications and may even help them decrease the medications they are taking. I love the quote by Rudolf Steiner: “For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure.” I know how good adaptogens make me feel and I feel sharing this with my patients is crucial.

Leah Haritan,MS RDN -California –
I absolutely loved this course and enjoyed every minute of it. Very educational and helpful. I felt the material tied up for me lots of loose ends that I had come across in relation to herbals and bundled it in a very accessible format that can be used as a reference
Kyle Wolfe, CDN, LDN, MSACN-Milford, PA –
I found this program extremely beneficial for my own personal use, but more so for my practical use as a clinical nutrition specialist. As a CNS, I was able to take a deeper dive into the area of adaptogenic herbs, which has been transformative for both my practice and the clients I serve. Understanding these powerful botanicals will allow me to offer comprehensive support for enhancing strength, stamina, and stress relief in a holistic manner. By incorporating adaptogens like Rhodiola rosea, Ashwagandha, and Holy Basil into personalized nutrition plans, I can hopefully improve my clients’ energy levels, physical endurance, and resilience to stress. This knowledge will not only empower me to provide more effective guidance but will also enable my clients to navigate daily challenges with greater ease and vitality. Embracing adaptogens as a clinical nutrition specialist has truly opened doors to promoting optimal well-being and vitality for those I work with.
Desiree Harvey MS RD, New York, NY –
I was pleasantly surprised by the vast amount of information provided by this course. It will help me immensely in my practice & to improve my own health & vitality.
LeAnn Rychlik, MS, RD, Temple TX –
Straightforward information. Practical applications. Simple concepts. One of my favorite books now. I continually refer to it.
Courtney Rinehold,RDN, CDN, CLT, CGP, Fort Wayne, IN –
Evidence-Based: The book provides a strong scientific foundation, linking gut health with immunity through up-to-date research and clinical studies. This makes the information credible and grounded in evidence. Practical Application: It offers clear, actionable recommendations, such as dietary changes (probiotics, prebiotics) and lifestyle modifications (stress management, sleep optimization), which are easily integrated into patient care. Holistic Approach: The emphasis on a comprehensive, whole-body approach that includes diet, lifestyle, and emotional health makes it a well-rounded resource for improving overall health, not just gut health.
Michelle Raimey RDN, LD, LMT- Ohio –
I am a new Dietitian and doing my CEU’s for the first time and this is the first time that I am using Skelly Skills. I found it completely easy to use, I was supported when I had questions, the format was amazing, the booklet was helpful, and the options of material are amazing. I will continue to use skellyskills for my CEUS.
Viki Shayna, PhD, RD- Ann Arbor, MI –
I found this book to be helpful in expanding my knowledge of an area that I didn’t even know existed. I hope to learn more so that my future suggestions will be helpful and targeted
