How does PACE work? CE providers agree to voluntarily
comply with PACE Criteria and Policies and Procedures in the development of CE offerings
CE providers are granted blanket approval of courses built in accordance with PACE
![Page 11: PACE – An Overview](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568153ce550346895dc1c15a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How does PACE work? Regulatory Boards recognize PACE approval
Boards may still approve non PACE programs directly as they do now
Participating CE providers seek PACE recognition for their institutions or organizations
PACE Recognized Providers register courses with FCLB and comply with requirements
![Page 12: PACE – An Overview](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568153ce550346895dc1c15a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Alternatives to PACE Approval CE Providers offering programs in
limited areas may still seek direct board approval or partnering with professional associations
Associations may seek approval from the boards as they currently do
Associations may elect to partner with a PACE Recognized Provider if they find it’s in their best interest
