NEW THIS 2011 RECERTIFICATION PERIOD!

You do not have to submit supporting documentation for programs pre-approved by BASC for AEUs. Simply list the four-digit BASC provider number on your 2011 recertification report and mail or fax your form for processing! You should, however, keep the supporting documentation in case your records are audited or questions about the courses you attended arise.

If you attend courses that are not pre-approved with a BASC number, you may still receive credit for participating in those courses. To receive that credit, complete and submit the Unapproved AEU Form available under the "Recertification Information" tab at the top of this page. The form asks you to provide BASC with certain basic information such as the course sponsor, the date the course was offered, the course title, a copy of the course description and proof that you attended.

  • Sign up for the May 12, 2012 exam by March 31, 2012.

We are thrilled that our COO maintains the CASC credential. It represents a depth of knowledge and understanding of a broad range of essential aspects pertinent to running an ASC. Hiring a CASC credentialed administrator gave our Board of Directors confidence in her ability to manage our center into the future."
