What Is Continuing Education (CE / CPD)?

Continuing education encompasses ongoing learning activities required for professional license maintenance and career development.

Last Updated: March 2026

Continuing education (CE) or continuing professional development (CPD) refers to structured and unstructured learning activities that professionals complete after initial qualification. Many regulated professions — healthcare, law, accounting, real estate, insurance — require documented CE credits for license renewal. CE/CPD tracking involves credit accumulation, activity documentation, and compliance reporting. An LMS with CE tracking automates credit management, sends renewal reminders, and generates compliance reports for regulatory bodies.
