PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam

What does one Continuing Education Unit (CEU) equate to in hours under the CE requirements recognized by APTA or CPTA?

1. 5 hours

2. 10 hours

3. 15 hours

4. 20 hours

The correct answer is: 10 hours

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are used as a measure of the time or hours spent in an educational program. Each CEU generally equates to 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. Option A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not equate to the full 10 hours required for one CEU. It is important to note that the number of hours required for one CEU may vary depending on the organization or accrediting body. In this case, the CE requirements recognized by APTA or CPTA equate one CEU to 10 hours.
