AFIRM has an option for a free Certificate of Completion at the end of each module. You will need to complete a post-assessment with a passing score of 70 or above to obtain this free Certificate of Completion. Please be sure to enter your name as you would like it to appear on your certificate. The certificate will indicate the module, date and time, and the score. The button for accessing the Certificate of Completion may behave differently depending on the browser you’re using. If you’re having trouble, try clicking near the center-bottom of the button for the best results.
Does the free Certificate of Completion meet my agency/organization’s professional development requirements?
AFIRM does not maintain a registry of this information. Please check with your agency/organization for this information.
If you are a BCBA, then no, the free Certificate of Completion does not meet BCBA requirements.
The free Certificate of Completion does not meet my agency/organization’s professional development requirements. What can I do?
AFIRM offers CEUs through the Friday Center for Continuing Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). Please note that these CEUs are based on contact hours and are not considered academic credit. Access the CEUs link at the end of each post-assessment to register and provide payment ($35) for CEUs. You do not need to be enrolled in UNC-CH to register for and provide payment for CEUs.
AFIRM offers Type-II CEs for BCBAs. Access the BCBA link at the end of each post-assessment to register and provide payment ($35) for Type-II CEs. You do not need to be enrolled in UNC-CH to register for and provide payment for Type-II CEs.
When do I receive my CEUs or Type-II CEs?
Within 45 days of confirmation of receipt of payment and completion of module requirements. This is generally the first full week of the following month. Please plan accordingly if CEUs or Type-II CEs are needed by a certain date. CEUs and Type-II CEs are created from a time-set system and cannot be created earlier.
For CEUs, please be on the lookout for an email from the Friday Center for Continuing Education at UNC-Chapel Hill.
For Type-II CEs, these will be directly emailed from AFIRM.
