The CEU Group has just finalized deals with 2 more local continuing education opportunities.  These will give our professionals the opportunity to save some significant money on their continuing education.  
First off, the IPAD® INNOVATIONS FOR SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS & SPECIAL EDUCATORS workshop 
is coming to Scottsdale on March 9, 2012.  We are able to offer a 26% discount off standard registration to the first 30 registrants through The CEU Group here .  This is a great opportunity for speech and language pathologists and special educators to learn how to more effectively use the hottest AT device on the market in their daily lives.  This workshop provides 0.6 ASHA CEU's for SLPs and 6.0 hours of CE for educators.  
Second is the Autism Conference put on by the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix coming to town on March 30 and 31, 2012.  With Dr. Temple Grandin as the keynote presenter.  The CEU Group will be able to offer a 10% discount off standard registration rates by registering here .  This is a great opportunity for professionals who work with individuals with Autism to learn and to get up to 7 hours of contact hours per day of attendance.  
The CEU Group looks forward to being able to offer more similar continuing education opportunities at great rates.

Discount Continuing Education through The CEU Group is soon to be available to even more titles.  The CEU Group plans to announce that we will be able to work with several more licensed professional titles in the next couple of days. 
Stay tuned and share with all of your licensed friends, co-workers, etc. that the best place for discount CE is here at The CEU Group.  

There is less than an hour and a half left on the huge discount on continuing education for the Autism/Aspergers superconference in Phoenix Arizona on Nov 10-11.  
The response over the last few days since Future Horizons has graciously extended the registration period for The CEU Group registrants has been overwhelmingly awesome.  
Please let your friends know that if they want in on this, they only have until 9:30 am, AZ time.  If they miss out on this one, that is ok.  Just register on our homepage at www.theceugroup.com so they can get discounts on future continuing education opportunities.  
We, at The CEU Group, look forward to serving all professionals in helping them get great bargains on great continuing education.  Thanks for your support!

In the past, many industries have been revamped and even benefitted by a move in the industry towards discount-seeking consumers.  Let's look at travel, for instance.  In the past, when one wanted to travel, he or she would have contact the airline directly and take the rate as given on the phone, then they would have to contact a car rental agency and take the rate as given on the phone, and then they would contact the hotel directly and take the rate as given over the phone.  The cost was definitely a restricting factor in this way of traveling.
Then along came travel agents, they put together travel and vacation packages that in many cases saved individuals hundreds of dollars.  But the airlines, rental car agencies, and the hotels were all happy to work with the travel agent as he or she drove additional business their way.  
More recently, online companies such as Expedia came up to save the travelers even more money and time.  The prices came down as much as 50% in some cases on travel.  But, once again, the airlines, hotels, and rental car agencies were along for the ride, as more people were traveling and spending money with them.  In many cases filling vacancies that otherwise would never have been filled.
The Continuing Education world is currently in the state where travel was 25 years ago.  If one wants to attend a given conference, seminar, or workshop, one must contact the providing company directly and accept the given price as the only way to get in.  
This option is no longer the only option!  The CEU Group is leading the way into the next generation of continuing education.  We are like a combination of the travel agent and the online mega-discount offerer.  We offer the more personalized service of a travel agent and are able to get the discounts of the online company.  
The CEU Group is currently filling our database with all kinds of professionals who require continuing education from all over the world.  We are also working very diligently to round up agreements with the biggest and best providers of continuing education so that we can provide you the best continuing education where you live at the best prices around.  
To join in this revolution, please come register with us at www.theceugroup.com and get in on the savings.  Already we are saving our registrants up to 35% on their continuing education.  Imagine some of the discounts we can get when we represent hundreds of thousands of licensed professionals from all over the country.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime by emailing [email protected].
Let's get rolling!  

According to the research done by The CEU Group, there are 3 major obstacles to professionals in their efforts to reach their continuing education requirements.
The first, and the most obvious obstacle is the financial requirements for CE.  With event costing up to over a thousand dollars per conference, this can be quite restrictive.  Especially if your interests and passions lie in a niche area of your speciality.  The CEU Group offers options now that will help decrease these costs significantly.
Second in the list of obstacles is the availability of courses in your given geographic area.  Although there are many providers of continuing education that travel all over the country, they typically choose only the larger metropolitan areas to provide these courses.  For many professionals in some of the outlying areas, this is a genuine obstacle.  Travel costs, time taken away from home and from business, on top of the costs of the continuing education are enough to drive some of these people to the edge.  The CEU Group is working hard to develop great relationships with online providers of quality continuing education as well as to eventually work with these providers and recruit new educators to try to convince them to go into some of the more rural areas from time to time.  These efforts will bring fantastic options to to licensed professionals everywhere.
And Third in the list of obstacles professionals face in getting their continuing education is the lack of interesting, or pertinent courses.  Let's face it, everyone has a passion for, interest in, or knack for something a little different than the next professional.  Everyone's clientele has differing needs.  Sometimes the variety of continuing educational opportunities are ...  well...  boring and unvaried.  Who wants to take the same ethics course and same business acumen course year after year?  Although sometimes these courses are required, there also needs to be some variety.  The CEU Group is working with and recruiting providers in all occupations and titles and areas of expertise to provide a wide variety of options for all of the professionals whom we serve.  
As can be seen, The CEU Group, though in its infancy, is working hard to overcome the three main obstacles to continuing educational requirements and provide a way for all professionals in all occupations and geographical locations more affordable, accessible, and pertinent options.  To join in this discussion and this movement, please join us at www.theceugroup.com and let your voice be heard on our blog and in our polls on our website.  You can also like us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-CEU-Group/272499622784833 or by clicking the "like" link on our website.  You can also follow us on Twitter @theCEUgroup or by clicking the "follow" link on our website.
