What Makes SMART CEUs Hub Different?
Our mission at SMART CEUs Hub is simple…
Bridging the Gap in Continuing Education After Graduation
We accomplish this by providing expert-taught Recreational Therapy and HPERD continuing education that is high-quality, on-demand, and affordable for professionals at every stage of their career.
Wondering what else makes us different from other CE providers?
Check out the list below:
Largest Continuing Education Provider for RT and HPERD Professionals
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! We are positioned to also be the largest HPERD CE provider as well due to our partnership with OAHPERD.
Largest Team of Expert Instructors
We have a team of over 30 SMART Instructors who are experts in their respective niches of Recreational Therapy and HPERD profesions!
Largest Course Library of NCTRC Approved CE
At SMART CEUs Hub we host the largest NCTRC pre-approved CE library available with over 360 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.
Endorsed CE Provider for OAHPERD
SMART CEUs Hub is the ONLY endorsed provider for HPERD professional continueing education by the Ohio Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance (OAHPERD). They review and approve all HPERD CE content on the site.
Entrepreneurship Education Opportunities
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 and our Rec Therapy Business Masterclass.
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.
