[Managing Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-courses) May 27, 2026 # Add a Course ## Add a CEU or Professiona Product Knowledge course to your CEU Events account and grant instructor access during setup. 👤 **This article is for providers.** Only provider accounts can add courses to the platform. CEU Events supports two types of courses: [Continuing Education Units (CEUs)](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/add-a-course#add-ceu-course) — approved courses tied to a recognition organization — and [Professional Knowledge (PK)](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/add-a-course#add-pk-course) — non-approved educational resources used for product training, factory tours, and similar content. This article walks you through how to add a course of either type and assign initial instructor access during setup. > **Which path applies to you?** > > CEU Events offers two provider account types: **Self-Serve** and **Fully Managed**. > > - **Self-Serve providers** can add both PK and CEU courses by following the instructions in this article. > - **Fully Managed providers** can add PK courses themselves, but for CEU courses we strongly recommend [contacting CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) — our team will create the necessary paperwork, handle submissions, and manage course recognition where applicable. > > Not sure which type of account you have? [Contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new). > ⚠️ **Important:** All **On-Demand video courses** — both CEU and PK — must be added by the CEU Events support team, regardless of whether you have a Self-Serve or Fully Managed account. To add an On-Demand video course, [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new). #### Course types at a glance - [Continuing Education Units (CEU)](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/add-a-course#add-ceu-course) — Courses approved or recognized by organizations and offered for credit. Require a certificate of completion, rating mechanism, and attendance reporting where applicable. - [Professional Knowledge (PK)](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/add-a-course#add-pk-course) — Courses that are not formally approved but serve as educational resources for professionals. May include product knowledge sessions, factory tours, and similar offerings. Attendance and feedback are still tracked. #### Before you begin - You must be logged in with a provider account that has permission to add courses. - For CEU courses, have ready: course title, description, learning objectives, length in hours, accepting organizations (and course codes / expiry dates where applicable), and any course files to upload. - For PK courses, have ready: course title, description, length in hours, and any course files to upload. - Decide which instructors should have access to the course on creation. You can update this later — see [Manage Instructor Course Access](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/manage-instructor-course-access). #### How to add a CEU course > 💡 **Fully Managed providers:** We strongly recommend [contacting CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) for CEU course creation rather than self-adding.

See Manage Instructor Course Access. ### Troubleshooting - **An instructor says they can't see the course under their account.** Have the instructor verify the following, in order: - Under **Course Providers**, confirm your provider company name appears in the list. - Next to your company name, confirm the **Activate** button is **no longer** showing. If it is, have them click **Activate** to complete their connection to your account. - Under their courses, confirm the **specific** course appears in their list. If all three checks pass and they still can't see the course, [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new). - [For Attendees](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#main-content) - [Certificates & Credits](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#certificates-credits) - [Attending Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#attending-events) - [Manage My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#manage-my-events) - [My Account & Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#my-account-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#reviews-feedback) - [Organizations & Associations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#organizations-associations) - [For Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#main-content) - [Best Practices](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#best-practices) - [Managing My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-events) - [Managing My Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-courses) - [Managing My Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-profile) - [Managing My Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-requests) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#marketing-resources) - [For Providers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#main-content) - [Managing Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-instructors) - [Managing Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-courses) - [Managing Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-requests) - [Managing Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-events) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#marketing-resources) - [Company Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#company-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reviews-feedback) - [For Places/Locations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#main-content) - [Places Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#places-account) - [Locations Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#locations-account) - [For Conference Organizers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#main-content) - [Preparation for the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#preparation-for-the-conference) - [During the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#during-the-conference) - [General](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/general) [![CEU-Events-Logo](https://help.ceuevents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png "CEU-Events-Logo")](http://www.ceuevents.com) [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) Copyright © 2026, CEU Events [Report an issue with this article](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new)
