What is the meaning of continuing education?

Continuing education is any training or classes that one takes after completing formal education. Continuing education can be college classes taken after completing a formal degree program or seminars and training taken to improve one's job skills. Many professions require that members of their profession continue learning new and changing skills to retain their credentials or even licenses. For example Certified Public Accountants in most states are required to take continuing education hours every year to keep their licenses current. In Nigeria the Teachers Registration Council Law requires all certified teachers to participate in approved continuing education courses as a condition of periodic renewal of registration.
