NEHA Book Reviews. NEHA now grants continuing education credit for self-study learning experiences such as the preparation of an acceptable book review for books obtained through NEHA. (It is important to note that only books obtained through NEHA are deemed acceptable for CE book reviews. This is because NEHA has already spent a considerable amount of time carefully reviewing and evaluating the content of these books and has determined that they meet continuing education standards.) Visit the NEHA Bookstore. By reviewing a NEHA book, you can obtain a maximum of 4 contact hours of credit toward your two-year NEHA requirement. A written book review must be completed for each book including: a summary of the major topics or points covered by the book (one page or less); an assessment as to whether or not the author successfully achieved what he or she set out to do (one page or less); a personal critical assessment of the book including likes and dislikes (two or more pages); and a concluding summary that simply states your perception of the value of the book (one page or less).

Please note: 1 CEU equals 10 CE contact hours; 0.5 CEU equals 5 CE contact hours.
