IBP Continuing Education Phase-Out - Important Information
- Why is IBP discontinuing its continuing education (CE) programs?
After over 40 years of serving more than 4 million health professionals, we've made the difficult decision to phase out our CE offerings due to a steady decline in demand for live programs and the growing accessibility of online alternatives.
When will CE programs end?
All live CE programs will conclude by June 30, 2025. Until then, you may continue to register for live in-person seminars, webinars, and purchase Distance Learning programs with CE credit.
What happens after June 30, 2025?
CE credit will no longer be available for purchase.
Books and recordings will still be available for purchase, but without CE credit.
Can I still earn CE credit after June 30, 2025?
You may submit Distance Learning exams for CE credit through October 31, 2025, if you purchased the program before June 30.
How do I submit for CE credit?
If you prepaid for CE credit, simply submit your completed materials as usual.
If you did not prepay, submit your completed exam with the required payment.
Certificates will be issued within 3 business days of submission.
What about vouchers?
Outstanding vouchers may be redeemed for Distance Learning programs (with or without CE credit) through September 30, 2025.
Vouchers are not eligible for refunds.
When is the deadline for certificate requests and reporting issues?
All outstanding certificate requests and reporting issues must be submitted by November 30, 2025.
