The unit of measurement used to certify satisfactory performance in the program is the Continuing Education Unit (CEU). The CEU is the nationally recognized and standardized measure for performance in similar programs of education and training. One CEU is defined as: “ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction.”
From its inception the intent was to offer educational opportunities to persons who, for some reason, would not matriculate in a four-year program of academic study leading to a baccalaureate degree. The CEU was deemed the appropriate measuring criteria. To maintain the integrity of the Evans-Smith program, it is suggested that graduates use the following guide when referring to the program in resumes, biographical data, etc.:
|
(Name) is a graduate of the Evans-Smith Leadership Training Institute, having received a Continuing Education Certificate in
(identify the certificate area) from the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology.
Some schools will recognize Continuing Education Units and grant advanced standing to persons seeking enrollment. Since
Evans-Smith awards CEUs as the measurement criteria, persons desiring to enroll in other academic institutions are advised to contact
the registrar of the school in question for information on that institution’s policy regarding acceptance of CEUs.
