Continuing education can be expensive, especially when it comes to professional development in fields like health care and dentistry. Fortunately, there are many resources for professional learning, including free CE online courses.

The Stanford Center for Professional Development offers awesome online degrees, graduate and professional certificates, e-learning and more, all for free. Choose from a wide variety of topics and study emerging trends and new concepts in your field.

If you’re looking for a more hands-on approach to education, try Skillshare. This online learning website features a huge selection of classes in creative arts, design and entrepreneurship. It also includes a library of thousands of user-generated videos for inspiration and instruction.

Another excellent resource for learning is Alison, an online education platform that allows you to complete certificates and diplomas in subjects such as computer programming and digital marketing. They offer more than 200 free courses and also provide a premium subscription with unlimited access to their courses and instructor support.

For nurses, AACN has created several free nursing online courses on various health care topics. These are a great way to stay up to date on the latest developments in acute and critical care. You can even earn ce online courses by simply watching a short video presentation or podcast and completing the course evaluations and posttests.

Dentsply Sirona offers ADA-CERP and AGD PACE-approved dental CE on the latest topics such as e-cigarettes and vaping, oral health in pregnancy and tooth bling. They also have free webinars that cover practice management, clinical and restorative topics, along with patient retention and marketing videos.

Taking an online course is a convenient way to stay up-to-date on your profession while still focusing on your patients. It’s also a great option for those who don’t have the time or budget to attend in-person courses. So if you’re looking to save on your CE costs, consider taking an online self-study course to meet your Texas continuing education requirements. You can also find state-approved CE activities through CDC TRAIN, which has replaced TCEO starting March 2023. All TCEO activities that offer CE will move to CDC TRAIN, and instructions are provided for this process.
