Welcome to the online introduction for your CEA accreditation workshop. The introduction is broken into a series of units, each with a video slideshow and a worksheet. Be sure to download the worksheet for each unit before you watch the video so that you can gain the most from the unit. You can download the worksheets from the first six units as one file, if you prefer. It is possible to download the videos for offline viewing rather than watching them online. Instructions are at the bottom of this page.

You will want to have the Accreditation Handbook and a copy of the CEA Standards handy as you watch the videos. These two documents were emailed to you. For Unit 2, you will need to reference your eligibility correspondence, which you received via email. In addition, there are references to the CEA Policies and Procedures, as well as the Mission and Values statements, both available on the CEA website under About CEA.

You will want to bring your completed worksheets – with your notes and questions – to the workshop. If there are questions you would you like to send in advance, you can send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
