4. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) There are many ways to acquire your CEUs.
BNI University is by far the most comprehensive and robust platform for all your CEUs and you are encouraged to login and take advantage as soon as you get an email from BNI Global ([email protected]) with a prompt to register. After you have gotten accustomed to the platform on your desktop, can find BNI University on your mobile device's app store to take CEUs with you everywhere.
The Official BNI Podcast although these podcasts can be found on BNI University, if it's easier for you to just go to the podcasts count 1 hour of listening (usually 5 podcasts) as 1 CEU.
Power of One Podcast these podcasts are also found on BNI University as well as easily accessible here.
Ivan Misner Books the founder of BNI Ivan Misner, has written many books about how to use business networking to grow your business, how to use business relationships effectively and how to become a master of networking. If you enjoy reading self improvement, business strategy books or listening to audio versions, make sure to give yourself credit in the BNI Connect app for CEUs.
