Continuing education LMS: the credits issued

This is a continuing education LMS worksheet that works the credits a course issues, the way a board or an accreditor counts them. Contact hours over the board's contact-hours-per-credit ratio is the credits per completing learner; learners at the completion rate is the completers; completers times credits per learner is the credits issued; completers is the certificates due; and the learners who did not complete times the credits per learner is the credit not earned. The ratio is the board's and the completion rate is yours; the worksheet rules on neither. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan keeps every learner's credits and certificates against the course that earned them.

Credits per learner: the board's ratio applied

A 16-hour course at one contact hour per credit is 16 credits per completer; a board that counts ten hours to one unit gives 1.6. The ratio differs by board and by profession, and the worksheet takes yours as an input so the same course reads correctly for each board it is approved by.

Completers, and the credits they earned

20 learners at a 90% completion rate is 18 completers, and 18 times 16 is 288 credits issued with 18 certificates due. Completion is attendance and any assessment the board requires; the paid plan records it per learner so the certificate is issued from the record rather than the register.

Credits not earned: the figure the audit asks about

Two learners who did not complete are 32 credits not earned, and an audit will ask why the certificate was not issued as readily as why it was. The worksheet returns the figure; the paid plan keeps the reason against the learner.
