MJones 0 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Pennie, I am currently a new Certified AD through NCCAP. I just started in this profession and I am new to this website. I am still trying to figure it all out. I do have a very important question and I am not sure how it works. Do you possible know how many CEU hours I need to have a year? I am aware I need to renew my certification every 2 years which NCCAP will send me information in the mail prior. I am just really confused at this time. I have heard several different things. I am not quit sure I have the whole CEU information down. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Megan Jones Hi, Texas AD's seeking certification to work in the State of Texas.
