Where's the exit?

I do CEU's for multiple licenses in multiple states, plus AIA CEUs. California now requires it for both accessibility and for energy. The vast majority of them are so dumbed-down as to be merely a performative exercise, like going to comedy traffic school. (I've certainly never had one explain exit access / exit / exit discharge.)

IMO, the most useful CEUs are usually provided by an approval agency ("such as "DSA Academy") or are related to obtaining a specific certification.
On the private level, the second-best are solving a very specific code problem, such as how to detail a Type 3A exterior wall, or sound wall ratings. Memorable CEUs usually include plenty of horror stories where things went wrong.
