Yes, through the host organizations that offer them. Smart RT doesn't provide or accredit any CEUs directly. We curate and link to free courses hosted by AARC-approved providers, and we tag each one with its source so you can confirm accreditation before you start. Our weekly scraper flags a course as inactive if a provider ever pulls it.
In most cases, yes, but check your specific requirement first. Our free library is self-study content. A number of states (including Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, and others) require a portion of your hours to be live or traditional, not 100% self-study. See our Paid Live CEUs section for options that satisfy that requirement.
The NBRC accepts AARC-approved coursework toward its Continuing Competency Program (CCP). Since Smart RT only links to courses from AARC-approved host providers, coursework you complete through them counts. Always double-check current NBRC requirements for your specific credential, as CCP rules can change.
Not automatically today. If your state board requires CE Broker reporting (Alabama's board mandates it, for example), you'll need to self-report using the certificate from whichever course provider you complete. Automated CE Broker reporting is something we're evaluating for a future update.
We don't sell your data. Information you give us (like your state and license renewal date) is used only to show you the right requirements, and certificates you upload are used only to log your CEU hours. See our full Privacy Policy for details.
Smart RT LLC was started by respiratory therapists who were tired of hunting across scattered websites for free, AARC-approved continuing education, and tired of guessing whether their state license was still in good standing. We built the free CEU library first. Smart RT Pro, our compliance tracker, is launching soon.
