CEUs for LSLS Applicants

LSLS™ applicants must attain at least 80 continuing education units (CEUs) to meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the LSLS application packets. Ten of these must be in structured observation of a LSLS certified professional (for more information on this, please refer to the application packet and route for your chosen designation).

The AG Bell Academy awards one CEU for each instructional hour of professional development that contains content within the nine LSLS domains of knowledge.
