Design notes
This badge is a graphite medal with a fine boxwood ring. A large serif CE sits above a short piece of engraved rule that runs past the rim: contact hours along its top edge, CEUs in red along its bottom edge, and a slide-rule cursor resting on the 10 and 1.0 marks. The maker's line on the rule reads 1 CEU = 10 CONTACT HOURS, and the rim carries CONTINUING EDUCATION and CONTACT HOURS · CEU. Your logo and organization name sit under the rule. At thumbnail size it still reads as CE, a pale band and a red line.
About
Continuing Education Badge Template, Boxwood Rule
A continuing education badge is the small, shareable sign that a professional has kept up with their field. Nurses, engineers, accountants, therapists and teachers often need a set number of CE hours to renew a licence or keep a membership, and the providers who run that training (university extension offices, professional associations, hospitals and training companies) send a badge that people can show on a profile or in an email signature.

Post for the recipient to share
I have just completed an eight-hour continuing education course and earned 0.8 CEUs toward my next licence renewal. The case studies were practical, and I am already using some of the ideas in my daily work. Thanks to the instructors for a well-organised course. #ContinuingEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment
