FAQs About Continuing Education
Have questions about certification prep or CEs? You’ve come to the right place.
What's the difference between a CE and a CEU?

Are BCEN Learn courses accredited?
Yes. BCEN Learn courses are accredited by the California State Board of Nursing to meet accreditation standards and are developed by subject matter experts. Contact hours earned count toward BCEN recertification and most state license renewals.
Does BCEN offer free nursing CEUs online?
Yes. BCEN Learn includes free webinars that award CE credit. You can browse available options on the BCEN Learn platform.
Can I use BCEN Learn courses for state license renewal?
