Frequently Asked Questions - Continuing Education Credits
Can I perform the same activity or attend the same course again and use it for credit?
No. Unless you are able to indicate how repeating the course further enhances your skills by describing in detail what was newly learned.
I want to take a course that is not ARCB approved. Can I get CEs?
Based on the new ARCB CE Policy effective August 1, 2023, Certificants no longer need to get approval or pay fees for non-ARCB Approved CE courses provided the CE course is approved by another national certifying organization, such as, but not limited to: NCRE, NCBTMB, ACCME, ANCC, or NCAA. We will automatically accept these CEs. Once you've completed your CEs, simply e-mail the certificate of completion in a PDF or JPEG and I'll update your records.
I’m taking a business or reflexology course that is not certified by ARCB or another certifying agency or accredited College/University. Will it be accepted for CEs?
Please email info@arcb.net the course link for review.
I have been volunteering on my local State Reflexology Board or with another organization, what do I need to submit as proof for my CEs?
We need the name of the organization and any documentation you may have for your volunteer work. This could be a certificate of appreciation, a website mention, an email, business card, news article, social media post. Whatever ties your name to the organization.
Does CPR Training count for CEs?
Yes, send in your proof of completion/certificate to info@arcb.net
I host or was featured in a Reflexology Podcast or I wrote an article on Reflexology for a publication. How do I submit this for CEs?
Please email us the link to the Podcast or publication to info@arcb.net. If there is no link, please email the recording or document. We may award up to 4 CEs per activity.
I teach reflexology at a school that is not certified by NCRE. Can I still earn CE credit towards my personal ARCB Certification?
Please email us at info@arcb.net with a link to the website of the Reflexology School that you teach at and the courses you provide at that school.
I'm interested in an Independent Study option.
The majority of what used to be Independent Study is now covered under ARCB Supported Activities/Courses or under Service to Reflexology. Please contact us for more detail.
I took a course that awarded more than the required 12 CEs. Will they carry over to the next CE cycle?
ARCB permits the banking of CE credit hours for two Continuing Education Cycles. For example, if you completed 24 CEs in your CE 2-year cycle (ending 12/31/2024), 12 CEs will be awarded for the 1st cycle (2024) and then another 12 CEs will be awarded for the 2nd cycle (2026). You cab submit all CEs at the time of course completion or by your cycle due date (typically 31 December).
I just turned 70, do I still need to submit CEs?
No, certificants 70 years and up do not need to submit CEs.
I attended a conference. Were my CEs automatically reported to ARCB?
No, CEs are not automatically reported to ARCB. You must submit your certificate of completion directly to us.
I still have a question?
No problem, please email or call us directly.
