Recorded content for the purpose of accredited continuing education endures over a specified time and the participant determines when to complete the activity. It is referred to as an Enduring Material. Approval of a live activity does not carry over to recorded content. For example, the CCEHS may accredit a live version of an activity, but not a recorded version. A separate application for an Enduring Material is required. An Enduring Material activity can remain activity for three years. The expiration date is determined in the planning stages of the activity and once expired, must either be retired or renewed.
