Are CE hours the same as CEUs?

Generally speaking, yes, they are the same for massage continuing education. Many state boards have different terminology, but below are the general definitions.

CE- counts as one hour of continuing education
CE hour- counts as one hour of continuing education
CEH- Same as CE - counts as one hour of continuing education
CEU- In the massage profession, same as CE, but in other professionals generally counts as 10 CE hours
Credit- Same as CE - counts as one hour of continuing education
Hour- Same as CE - counts as one hour of continuing education

What our courses are considered:
Each one of our courses is based on a CE hour or a credit. Our terminology is not based on CEU, as everything we do is based on one-hour credits or CE's.

For Example: 
Our 6-hour course will count as 6 CE hours or credits.
