Newly Expanded Accreditation!​

For more information on accreditation, visit each individual course page in our Online Store and click the “Accreditation” tab

Our course CE credits are through the following accrediting bodies:

  • AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™,
  • ACPE,
  • ANCC, and
  • CDR

Course credits will continue to count toward the CDCES and BC-ADM certification requirements, and many of our offerings (all of Standards of Care Intensive courses, plus our Virtual and Live DiabetesEd Training Conferences) fulfill the ADA Standards of Care component required for certification renewal.

The use of DES products does not guarantee the successful passage of the certification exam. CBDCE and ADCES do not endorse any preparatory or review materials for the CDCES or BC-ADM exams, except for those published by CBDCE & ADCES.
