# Built Different - Credit(s) Where It's Due: How Educational Programs Become CE-Approved

## Summary

You press play, pass the quiz, and add another CE to your collection. But have you ever wondered what it takes for that education to become CE-approved in the first place? In this Season 33 finale episode, Bobby and Jason are turning the mic to Beyond Clean's Chelsea Schmitz for a behind-the-scenes look at how continuing education programs become CE-approved. With more than 500 CE submissions under her belt, Chels walks through how educational content goes from an idea to an approved CE, what it takes to maintain CE-approved content, and what separates meaningful education from another hour spent checking a requirement off the list. We're closing out a season dedicated to training in SPD with a look at what goes into the education that keeps #CleanFreaks and our industry moving forward. Don't miss this season finale!
