Are you always searching for affordable (or even free) continuing education hours that you can complete online? If so, you’re in good company! I’ve loved the convenience of tuning into CEU courses while folding laundry, commuting, or even walking on a treadmill at the gym. An added bonus? Online CEUs save a lot of money by eliminating travel and state conference fees. So, the next time you see a virtual course that seems a little pricey, remember the cost savings and flexibility of online learning!
Here are some of my favorite ASHA-approved CEU providers:
1. SpeechPathology.com
My go-to site for earning CEUs has always been SpeechPathology.com. At just $129 per year, it’s a fantastic deal considering the years I relied solely on their courses to complete my required hours. I love the variety of course formats available—you can watch pre-recorded videos, listen to audio-only courses, complete read-only materials, and sign up for live webinars (beneficial if your state requires a certain number of live CEUs).
2. MedBridge
If you’re looking for a platform that offers CEUs not only for SLPs but also for PTs, OTs, and nurses, MedBridge is a solid choice. Their annual subscription costs $194 and provides access to an extensive library of courses covering topics like stroke, TBI, fluency, language and literacy, school-based services, multicultural issues, and even telehealth. Not ready to commit to a subscription? MedBridge allows you to pay per course, which is excellent if you need a few hours to meet your requirements.
3. SpeechTherapyPD.com
SpeechTherapyPD.com offers several subscription options based on your learning preferences. Their basic plan starts at $89 per year for courses up to 3 hours in length, but their most popular option—labeled “Our SLPs’ Favorite Choice”—is the $189 per year subscription, which includes access to courses longer than 3 hours. They also offer live and interactive courses and deep-dive study groups that allow for meaningful discussions and collaborative learning with other professionals.
4. ASHA Learning Pass
The ASHA Learning Pass is another excellent option, priced at $144 annually for ASHA members. It includes access to over 750 video and audio courses, which are 1 hour long. The platform makes it easy to search by topic to focus on specific areas of interest. Plus, the Learning Pass offers discounts on ASHA’s many online conferences. ASHA courses are available for PDH and CEU credits, making them a versatile choice for meeting your continuing education goals.
