The content must be relevant to global mobility issues and on an intermediate or advanced level. That is, the education must be at a level expected for a person with at least two years of global mobility experience. Typically, if the content of the event relates to some aspect of the GMS®/GMS-T® training and adds to the person’s expertise within the mobility field, CE credit is appropriate.
- CRP credits can be applied to your GMS, you do not need to enter CE credits twice.
- When inputting these CE credits into your record, you **must** be descriptive about the content of the event for it to be approved.
