Vermont Training and CEU Tutorials

Introduction

For information and questions about obtaining Vermont recertification credits through these tutorials, contact:

State of Vermont Approval Procedures

1. You must obtain a score of 90% or better. The tutorial may be taken over until this score is reached. [Note: remember - the objective of these tutorials is training, not testing.]
2. Print two copies of the score results. Write your certification number and the Vermont Program Approval Number (see below) for that tutorial on the result sheet. You must sign the result sheet being submitted to the Department in order to be awarded credit.
3. Send the signed result sheet to the address above, to the attention of Matthew H. Wood. Keep the other printed copy for your own records. You will not receive a State of Vermont credit slip for the tutorial, so it is in your best interest to keep a record of all tutorials you have completed.
4. Once you have earned recertification credits with a given tutorial, you may not take that same tutorial again to receive additional credits.

How The Tutorials Work

Each question screen within the tutorial allows the student to access text (under an Info Text button) or graphics (under an Image button) necessary to answer the question. Questions 1 and 50 provide information on using the test. The text for answering the questions, using the program and applying for CEUs can be printed from within the program. This allows students the option of handling printed material, as well as electronic information, to answer the questions.

Questions answered correctly provide the student with additional information not found under the Info Text button. The student is not tested on this additional information. Questions answered incorrectly provide the student with the correct answer, and often with additional information that helps the student understand the subject better.

Simple instructions for printing the test results are provided under the Intro Text button of Questions 1 and 50. Students can print these instructions off from within the tutorials. The tutorial can be used over and over again for instruction without requiring a student to print the results.

Only after students have answered all 50 questions are they prompted to enter their name into a pop-up screen. They can then proceed to access their test results.

Once a student has earned a CEU through a specific program, he or she cannot use it again to earn CEUs in that category. However, an unlimited number of students can use each program to earn CEUs.
