      Continuing Education Units


      In order to maintain your CMRS certification, AMBA requires completion of 15 continuing education units (CEUs) annually.

      We have several methods of approved continued education.

      CEUs must be earned in the calendar year following your initial CMRS Certification but before your anniversary date.

      We will approve magazine subscriptions, seminars, videos, online subscriptions, etc. that are not approved by AMBA already on a case by case basis.
