Continuing Education

Manage and review continuing education requirements and certifications at your regulatory agency with CE functionality in GL Suite.

Support the Full Lifecycle of CE Tracking

GL Suite offers comprehensive tools to manage education and continuing education (CE) requirements, supporting the full lifecycle of CE tracking, provider approvals, student and school record management, and real-time visibility for licensees. The system aligns with agency-specific CE policies, workflows and enforcement rules, ensuring licensees and providers remain compliant with regulatory requirements.

Software Features

GL Suite enables agencies to configure and enforce CE requirements as a prerequisite for license renewal. The system automatically prevents license renewals until licensees meet all CE obligations. The system tracks CE hours by category—such as practice, education and volunteer hours—and distinguishes hours earned inside or outside the jurisdiction. Regulatory agencies also configure rules to calculate and carry over CE credits from year to year, preserving a complete historical record for audit and compliance purposes.

GL Suite allows CE providers to submit course applications for agency approval via a self-service portal. The system supports real-time publishing of approved courses viewable by licensees via the portal. This streamlines provider engagement while giving licensees convenient access to approved education opportunities.

GL Suite supports educational program oversight by tracking and managing school and student records within a dedicated module. Educational institutions and instructors interact with regulatory agencies through a tailored portal interface. In addition, interfaces allow your regulatory agency to integrate exams into our continuing education functionality. Interfaces help you export out applicant information and import in scores.
