Reporting Continuing Education Hours
Download the CE application to submit your continuing education hours for credit. To determine in advance of a course whether credit will be given, submit the CE application to ASA for preapproval. You will receive a response within three business days. Once you have completed the course, resubmit the CE application with your signature.
CE hours may be earned only by participating in courses or programs that are approved by ASA. Generally these will be educational activities offered by ASA, its chapters, or approved educational providers that are specifically developed for the CSP or TSC programs. However, other programs and activities, such as staffing firm in-house training programs and college courses, may be eligible for CE credit.
Opportunities To Earn Continuing Education Hours
Events and Webinars
Each year, ASA offers staffing professionals numerous opportunities to participate in educational activities that qualify for continuing education credit. Staffing World®, recruiting symposium, Capitol Hill Day, and InterAction Webinar attendees have enhanced their knowledge, stayed up-to-date on the latest changes in employment law, and earned continuing education hours to maintain their CSP and TSC designations—all at once. View a list of upcoming ASA educational events.
Chapters
Contact your state or local ASA-affiliated chapter to learn more about upcoming educational programs.
Approved Continuing Education Providers
View the directory of ASA approved continuing education providers to find contact information for companies and individuals who have been preapproved by ASA to provide continuing education. All staffing industry related programs offered by approved providers automatically qualify for continuing education hours for CSP and TSC designations.
Providers must submit programs covering employment law topics to ASA before the program commences to be evaluated for employment law continuing education approval. If your company offers training programs to the staffing industry, you may be eligible to become an ASA approved continuing education provider.
Recordings
Recordings of educational programs previously offered by ASA are now available on ASAPro, the new ASA online professional development center—including Staffing World workshops and InterAction Webinars. These programs qualify for passive continuing education hours based on the length of the recording. Some programs qualify for legal continuing education hours.
