These DE courses are some of the professional development
opportunities now available to the community. DEPS also sponsors a series of short courses that are associated
with the Annual DE Symposium and some other events. Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits are
offered for completion of DEPS courses.
Currently Scheduled Courses
