What Makes SMART CEUs Hub Different?

Our mission at SMART CEUs Hub is simple…

“To bridge the gap in Recreational Therapy education after graduation.”

We accomplish this by providing the best Recreational Therapy continuing education opportunities taught by Recreational Therapy experts on demand and at affordable prices to the largest audience of Recreational Therapists in the industry.

 

Wondering what else makes us different from other CE providers? Check out the list below:

Largest RT Continuing Education Provider

We have the largest user base of any Recreational Therapy CE provider with over 5000 current customers using our services to get their required CEUs. This is about 25% of all RTs in the United States and Canada!

Largest Team of CTRS Instructors

We have a team of 29 SMART Instructors who are experts in their respective niches of Recreational Therapy! Our SMART Instructors go through an interview process prior to being hired and they earn a guaranteed residual monthly income for each course that they create. This means not only are you learning from RTs, you are helping RTs earn a side income/keeping it in the family.

We also have an admin team so that we can provide, not only the best education, but also the best customer service!

Largest Course Library of NCTRC Approved CE

At SMART CEUs Hub we host the largest NCTRC pre-approved CE library available with over 300 clock hours (and growing!) of pre-developed courses. Each course that ends up on the site goes through a rigorous review process which includes visual/formatting reviews, content reviews, and CE reviews by NCTRC before ever being listed.

Entrepreneurship

We believe that RT entrepreneurship is one of the strongest tools we have to increase awareness and demand for our profession. We support the largest network of TR entrepreneurs in the industry through our TR Entrepreneur Connection Facebook group, our Rec Therapy Business Masterclass, and through education at conferences throughout the nation about RT business skills.

Our SMART Partners

We partner with state/provincial professional RT membership organizations and other organizations serving Recreational Therapists to create win wins.

Military Contract

We are the only RT continuing education provider to have a contract with the US Federal Government and the US Marines.

SMART Fellow Scholarship

We believe in encouraging more RTs to get advanced degrees to become college professors as we are experiencing a shortage. Because of this belief we provide (Qty: 2) $2500 IUB School of Public Health SMART Scholarships each year to RTs getting their doctorate degrees through Indiana University’s Recreational Therapy PhD program.

To apply for the scholarship: https://publichealth.indiana.edu/student-portal/financial-support/fellowships/index.html

Rec Therapy Directory

We co-created the ultimate Rec Therapy resources website called the Rec Therapy Directory (rectherapydirectory.com) where you can find jobs, an interventions library, a TR merch shop, a blog, and much more!
