ONLINE COURSES ASET-CEUs awarded for successful completion. EEG courses were developed by recognized subject matter experts (SME) who are outstanding in the field of electroencephalography. University professors were also recruited in the development of these courses. With the ASET EEG national competencies serving as the foundation, SMEs and university professors collaborated on the outline of module topics, and course faculty collaborated on the design, development, and presentation of course offerings. All courses have been peer reviewed for content, content clarity, instructions, and time for completion.
