IDCEC in 15: How a Course Gets Approved

IDCEC in 15: How a Course Gets Approved is a focused micro-lesson for manufacturers that explains exactly how an IDCEC course moves from idea to approval—and what to do immediately after approval. In one short session you’ll see who does what (provider, reviewer, instructor), the core parts of a compliant submission, what reviewers look for, and the operational steps to launch sessions cleanly (schedule → class code → attendance → certificates).

Content is instructional and non-proprietary.

Who should take this

• Marketing, Product, and A&D/CEU Program owners
• CEU authors, presenters, coordinators, and LMS admins
• New team members who need a fast, accurate overview

What you’ll learn

• Roles & responsibilities: how providers, reviewers, and instructors interact.
• Submission essentials: measurable learning objectives, a timed outline that totals the runtime, presenter notes/script, and a credible bibliography.
• Reviewer expectations: alignment of objectives–content–assessment, neutral/non-proprietary examples, and correct designation (HSW vs General).
• Post-approval operations: scheduling events, generating class codes, capturing attendance/evaluations, issuing certificates, and basic recordkeeping.

Format & requirements

• Approx. 12–13 minutes of instruction + 5-question quiz (80% to pass).
• Certificate of completion is issued automatically on pass.
• Downloadable “Submission Checklist” included for quick reference.
• No prerequisites; designed for busy teams and short attention spans.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to: (1) name the three main roles in the IDCEC ecosystem; (2) list the four core items every submission requires; and (3) describe the post-approval flow from scheduling through certificates and records.
