Design Your Own International CEU Course

Bring your professional knowledge, your audience, and your learning goals. Therapy Abroad can work with you to develop an international continuing education experience that connects purposeful instruction with travel, cultural context, and opportunities for professional exchange.

Your Course

Create a course people can use in their work

Start with the change you want learners to make: a stronger understanding of a topic, a more informed clinical decision, or a practical skill they can apply within their professional role. We help you consider how the international setting supports that purpose and what belongs in the educational schedule.

A focused course might explore cultural and linguistic diversity, family engagement, clinical education, or a specialty area such as pediatric feeding. The topic, instructors, and participant level determine the appropriate format. These examples are invitations to discuss a concept, not a promise that every course is already available.

We welcome conversations with clinicians, faculty, professional associations, practice owners, school districts, and education organizations. You can start with an established course or an idea you want to explore.

Who This Is For

Who this is for

Course creators and clinical educators

Adapt an existing workshop for an international setting or develop a new professional learning experience.

Universities and faculty groups

Build professional development for colleagues or a clearly defined professional audience.

Associations and professional networks

Explore a course that reflects member interests and connects practitioners across settings.

School districts and healthcare organizations

Develop shared learning around your team’s priorities, with space for discussion and planning for application at home.

Build Together

Build the course and the travel experience together

Your subject expertise shapes the educational content. Therapy Abroad contributes international program planning, destination knowledge, and coordination of agreed travel and program services. If professional credit is part of the plan, the responsible education provider or sponsor must be identified early.

Together, we clarify the course audience, learning objectives, instructors, schedule, participant assessment, and supporting materials. We also discuss venues, accommodations, transportation, cultural activities, group size, and a realistic budget.

Six Steps

From idea to delivery

01

Explore the concept

Tell us who the course is for, what participants should learn, and what you would like the destination to add. Discuss timing, likely enrollment, and whether you have instructors or a provider relationship in mind.

02

Shape the educational plan

Define measurable objectives, prerequisites, teaching methods, and a schedule that supports the learning. Consider which local perspectives or experiences would add value and whether host partners can support them.

03

Confirm the credit pathway

Agree who is responsible for any provider approvals, required disclosures, attendance tracking, learner assessment, and completion documentation. Approval must be established for the specific course; it is not automatic because another Therapy Abroad workshop carries credit.

04

Develop the program scope and budget

Review educational and travel components, faculty or speaker costs, minimum enrollment assumptions, guest options, and the proposed booking terms. Agree what is included and who is responsible for each component.

05

Prepare to launch

Finalize the educational information, approved promotional language, registration process, participant communications, and delivery responsibilities before opening bookings.

06

Deliver and review

Coordinate the agreed course and travel program. Review participant and partner feedback to understand what was useful and what should change for a future offering.

Responsibilities

A clear division of responsibilities

Area
What to agree during planning
Course content

Who develops objectives, teaching materials, cases, assessments, and updates.

Professional credit

Who holds the provider or sponsor role, confirms approval, and manages records and documentation.

Program operations

Which venues, housing, transport, activities, and participant support Therapy Abroad coordinates.

Enrollment and finances

Who recruits, collects payments, funds speaker expenses, and carries agreed cancellation or enrollment obligations.

Community involvement

Which host partners participate, what they agree to provide, and how their time and expertise are recognized.

Community

Design around a responsible community relationship

If the course includes a local visit, exchange, or educational contribution, begin with the host partner’s interests and capacity. Agree on the purpose, participant roles, language needs, and how information or materials will be used. Protect confidentiality and obtain appropriate consent for participation and photography.

A useful international course can deepen professional understanding without requiring participants to provide clinical services. Any clinical component needs separate review of authorization, qualifications, supervision, and continuity.

Your Idea

Tell us about your idea

You do not need to prepare a complete proposal before we meet. Share your topic, intended audience, preferred timing, and what you would like participants to gain. We can work through the practical questions together.

Start a Course Planning Conversation

You do not need to prepare a complete proposal before we meet.

See a Course in Practice

Study pediatric feeding with Dr. Kate Barlow through a three-day course within an international travel program. The curriculum addresses assessment and intervention, including sensory processing and oral motor concerns. Cultural activities provide time to explore Lisbon and reflect with colleagues.

Frequently asked questions

Q

Do I need an existing audience

An established audience helps with planning, but you can contact us at the concept stage. We will discuss who the course serves and how recruitment responsibilities could be shared. Enrollment is not guaranteed.

Q

Can I bring my own curriculum or presenters

Yes. Share an outline and information about the presenters. We can discuss the educational fit, international format, ownership of materials, and any credit requirements.

Q

Can Therapy Abroad arrange CEU approval for my course

We can discuss a suitable pathway and potential provider or sponsor arrangements. Approval depends on the specific profession, provider, content, and course requirements. It must be confirmed before approved-credit claims are published.

Q

How are pricing and compensation determined

These are agreed for the individual collaboration. Group size, destination, teaching time, speaker expenses, services, and commercial responsibilities affect the budget. We do not assume a standard revenue split or guaranteed instructor payment.

Q

How much time should we allow

Contact us early enough to accommodate educational review, any credit approval, travel planning, and recruitment. We will discuss a realistic timeline once we understand the course.
