The New & Improved Post-Merge Impact CE: An Overview
Two months ago, CE-Credit.com, AddictionCounselorCE.com, and MakeAnImpact.com came together under a brand new name and site address: Impact CE at ImpactCE.com. Since then, our team has been hard at work to offer the best new and improved product we can, including better organization for live events and self-paced courses, more inclusive memberships, more options for live event times to better serve non-East Coast timezones, and more.
New features include...
Dashboard Organization
Dashboards are easier to navigate than ever before! Now, view all live events and self-paced courses in one easy to navigate view, with previews to check details and easily accessible attendee dashboards for live events. You can now even add live events directly to your calendar straight from the dashboard.
Along with our new dashboard view, you can now sort by material type and live versus self-paced courses. Check out our full course catalogue and find the filter options on the left hand side above the course listings. Along with these handy filters, you can also filter and search by keyword!
Event Tagging
When perusing the self-paced courses and live event catalogue, you might notice some tags and labels not available pre-merge. But what do they all mean?
Self-Paced
Self-paced courses are included in both the Spark membership and the Ignite membership. Self-paced courses, often called "home study" or "asynchronous" learning, come in a variety of material type: online reading, recorded webinar, book, and even audio! Self-paced courses are completed entirely at your own chosen pace - as slowly or as quickly as you choose. They also always include a pass/fail exam - but don't worry! All self-paced course exams are completely open notes. We even offer an "exam preview" to take a sneak peak at what the exam will include.
Live Event
These single-session webinars (3 CE credits or fewer) cover essential clinical and professional topics and are included at no cost for Ignite members. Perfect for staying current, refreshing core skills, or earning credits on a flexible schedule. All live events are held virtually via Zoom. They do not included a pass/fail exam, just an opinion-based post-event evaluation that is required to earn the CE's and obtain your certificate.
Premium Event
Our Premium Events offer deeper learning, richer discussion, and expanded clinical application. These experiences are designed for professionals seeking advanced insight, specialization, and meaningful engagement with expert faculty and peers. Ignite members receive exclusive discounted access to all Premium Events.
Series
A curated collection of live sessions exploring a topic over time. Series events commonly consist of multiple, non-consecutive sessions that allow for reflection and integration between classes, ideal for building depth without the intensity of a multi-day commitment.
Intensive
Focused, immersive learning in a single day. Intensives offer 3 CE credits or more and are designed for intermediate-advanced learners ready to dive deeply into a specific clinical or professional skill area in a concentrated format.
Masterclass
Cohort style, high-engagement learning for advanced practice. Masterclasses take place over multiple consecutive days and center on a single, specialized topic. With a limited, interactive cohort, participants benefit from direct faculty interaction, applied discussion, and a highly immersive learning environment.
Conference
A conference-style learning experience built around a central theme. Summits span multiple consecutive days and feature a variety of expert-led sessions examining a topic from multiple perspectives. These events bring together diverse voices, emerging research, and practical application for a comprehensive, big-picture learning experience.
But what are the other tags visible on live events and self-paced courses?
Additional tags are topic tags. These are not just handy to get a quick idea what a course focuses on, they are also clickable links! See a topic tag you're looking for, but not interested in the course? Click on the tag for a full list of courses matching that topic tag.
Membership Options
We understand how expensive CEs can get, especially live CEs. And to help keep things easy and stress-free, our merge delivered a brand new membership option: Ignite Membership.
What is the Ignite Membership?
With our Ignite membership, you can take unlimited self-paced courses and unlimited standard live events. Not only does it cover all standard live programming, but with your Ignite membership, missing a scheduled event, while frustrating, is an easy fix! Now, missed events are easily made up: just choose a new live event! There is no need for a manual transfer request (something our Make an Impact members might be familiar with). With the Ignite membership, your event schedule is easy and flexible and, most importantly, all up to you.
What's included with the Ignite membership?
Live Online Events
Unlimited access to our full catalog of live webinars – over 150 webinars offered across professions each year! Plus, receive an exclusive 50% off member discount on premium events: intensives, masterclasses, and conferences.
Note: not all events offer credit for all professions.
Self Paced Courses
Learn on your own schedule! With 928 self-paced courses, you're sure to find one to meet your interests and needs. Ignite membership includes access to all of them.
Recorded Webinars
Most of our live events get recorded and offered as self-paced courses. With 380 hours of expert-led webinars already available and an ever-growing library, you’ll have fresh topics to explore year-round.
E-Library
Ignite also includes free access to our e-library, powered by Libby. Borrow textbooks and other in-depth book materials at no charge. For those who like in-depth self-paced courses based on traditional books, this can be very convenient.
