Continuing Education Units (CEUs)CEU Application FormTo maintain IMA Certified Professional Mediator status, a CPM must complete at least 20 hours of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) every two years. A CPM who attends the IMA Conference every year will be assured of completing sufficient CEUs. In addition, CEUs may be obtained in a number of other ways: |
1. Attending trainings and conferences
2. Teaching or presenting
3. Self study
4. Mentoring a mediator
5. Providing pro bono mediation
Once used for renewal of CPM status, CEUs are “spent” and may not be reused or applied to future or past reporting periods. CEUs must be completed within the reporting period for which they are requested. The Committee may, upon request of an applicant and for good cause shown, expand the two-year reporting period or apply CEU credit from one reporting period to another.
Upon approval of a CEU application, the Administrator will note the number of CEUs approved, together with the due date of the next required CEU approval, in the CPM member’s record in the membership database.
Complete the CEU application form with the necessary attachments for your request. E-mail your CEU application in PDF format to admin@idahomediationassociation.org.
NOTE: IMA conference credit will be automatically posted for CPM members in good standing. A CPM who attends 20 or more hours of IMA conferences during his or her reporting cycle need not submit the CEU application form but will have their CEUs approved by the Administrator, who will notify the CPM of their automatic approval. The CPM may submit a CEU application to report additional CEUs for approval.
See the IMA Policies & Procedures for more specific information about obtaining and reporting CEUs.
