“You must be willing to give up what you are, to become what you want to be.” –Orrin Woodward
It makes sense that educators would need to pursue professional development hours throughout their career in order to stay fresh in the field. There are several ways to obtain these credits and the amount required depends on the state you live in, the school you teach at, the degree you acquired and the job title you have. Most teachers will choose to attend a local community college or take classes online. While this is beneficial and certainly legitimate, what if there was a way to obtain these credit hours in a more unconventional–but functional–way?
Well, now there is! Christian school teachers can now obtain these credits by completing Life‘s LLR Corporate Education Program. Based on the New York Times bestseller, Launching a Leadership Revolution, the LLR Corporate Program is designed–not just to train employees–but to gradually and effectively develop existing talent into engaged, contributing, go-to leaders; and systemically create a permanent culture of leadership that affects every employee within the organization.
Teachers from ACSI schools who choose to use the LLR Corporate Education materials, can apply to receive 3 CEU’s per 6 month course from Kevin Swedberg, Life Member and Independent CEU provider. Contact Kevin at lifeceus@gmail.com. (Please do not contact ACSI directly.)
“When a school chooses to teach leadership to their staff, faculty and students, we will begin to change the culture of our nation. Also, from a Biblical perspective, Christians are called to LEAD people to Christ. If we believe that leadership is something only certain people can or should do, we will be apprehensive to accomplish the work of the Great Commission. I believe it is vital to train believers to lead. When we realize that leadership is for everyone, and all of us are called upon at certain times throughout our lives, to lead, we will begin to have confidence to lead others to Christ.” -Kevin Swedberg (Life Member)
This approval is such a big deal because it truly is helping teachers become better teachers. Customers of Life Leadership’s LLR Corporate Program are so loyal and enthusiastic about the product because they notice the significant value of applying it to their career:
“I have used many of the books and CD’s I received through the LLR Corporate Program to teach an Introduction to Business class. I have also been able to use the materials in other courses having to do with current events, economics, worldview, and mathematics. It’s amazing when you ingest this information on a daily basis, how many ways it will fit into your life–and how many people can be impacted by the information simply because of a conversation you had with them, even if they are not personally receiving the information themselves. Our school has now developed a Leadership Training Program across the 4 years of Senior High (and we are looking at implementing the program beginning in 8th grade) which intentionally seeks to help students understand that leadership is something they will all need to be equipped for at some point in their life. Leadership is not an elected position in the student body, but rather a role they should each be equipped to play. The LLR Corporate materials have played an enormous part in shaping my thinking, which in turn has allowed me to contribute to shaping this program’s goals and methods.” -Kevin Swedberg (Life Member)
Currently, Life offers three courses of the LLR Corporate Program; however, CEU’s have only been approved for course 1 and 2. Each program includes 6 books and 24 audios; along with downloadable test questions, answers and a certificate of completion, in order to facilitate the learning process. Orrin Woodward and all of the Life Founders are proud of this program, because it literally changes the culture of the organizations that use it.
If you have completed the program (or are in the process currently), we would like your feedback!
Peggi Kern says
I am so happy to hear that ACSI is now seeing the value of LLR Corporate as continuing education for teachers! I taught in a local Christian school. The flexibility and high quality education from LIFE Leadership gave me the opportunity to fit the program into my busy life as an educator, while applying what I was learning over time. It is actually a program that became a part of my teaching career and spilled into every area of my life. Great program!

Peggy,
What is the cost for the CEU’s? Great testimony, thank you for sharing!

How many credits can a teacher earn for each course?
Kristen Seidl says
Hi Jim! Great question! We will inquire as soon as possible and post it in the article. Stay tuned! Thx
Kristen Seidl says
ACSI members can earn 3 CEUs per course.
Moira says
Hi Kristen, 3 CEUs per year long course or 3 per month of subscription? Thank you!
Zach Frey says
Hello Moira!
We’ve updated the post to show that the LLRC Program counts for 3 CEUs per 6-month course.
Thanks!
Moira says
Thank you!
Bruce Terris says
You can earn up to 3 credits for each course taken. LLR Course 1 & 2 are approved for CEU credits
Thanks,
Bruce Terris.
Ammon Nelson says
The LLRC program is not showing on their website yet. What documentation can I take to a ACSI school to show that this program will give them Professional Development Credit?
Kristen Seidl says
Hi Ammon! Great question! We will track down this information from ACSI and post it in the body of the article! Stay tuned! Thx
Kevin Swedberg says
ACSI members can earn 3 CEUs per course.
Kevin Swedberg says
The process for gaining CEUs starts by sending an email to lifeceus@gmail.com. ACSI authorizes third party organizations to provide CEUs. To process the CEUS you will be working with someone ACSI has authorized to oversee the CEU process. Questions can be directed to the CEU provider by sending an email to lifeceus@gmail.com. Thanks.
Zach Frey says
Thank you for clarifying, Kevin!
Kristen Seidl says
Thank you so much Kevin for this feedback!
Moira says
Kevin, sent an email yesterday to the email address provided in the blog. Hoping to hear a response soon. Thank you and God bless!

I purchased the LLR Corporate pack for my personal use and after reading and applying the Leadership principles using the ziggerat, I received the courage to interview for a new job as a superintendent which was offered to me in the first 5 minutes of the interview which pays triple my current income and then three months later I received a salary increase of 10% and then 2 months later another promotion to supervise all the superintendents in the State of Arizona with another 10% raise. The only thing I changed was what I was reading, listening to and my associations with other successful business system owners. Thanks Life Leadership Founder’s, the tri-lateral leadership ledger in the Launching a Leadership Revolution Corporate program has changed my life forever.
ROY J.TAYLOR says
I purchased the first six months course and receiving the monthly subscription for the second six months, have already received the first three months. Individuals who have seen the materials and taken the course are amazed and pleased with the materials, working with the new Sheriff in the county to show them how the materials can help educate their force, also some schools and community colleges.
As working with the schools, that is great, and would be good when we have the materials to show the individuals and schools, how many credits are available for each course.
Great work, we are moving forward. Thanks again. Roy Taylor

LLR Corporate is what every leader needs to sharpen their skills and leadership ability! Just think what the next 5 years bring with LIFE LEADERSHIP !! So excited !!
Sherrie Clark says
Wow! This is more GREAT News! QUESTION… Is there a possibility that someone could put a blog article together with the same intentions for the Accountant CEU accreditation program that Rob Robson shared on life line 3 weeks ago? That would give us even more ammo for targeting corporations and small business for exploding our LIFE Customer sales! See you at the Top!
Kristen Seidl says
Hi Sherrie! I will dig into this more and see if we can write about it! Thanks for the great comment and question!
Cody Kratzer says
Congratulations on becoming ACSI accredited! Just more proof that our information really is world-class!
As an executive of a multi-million dollar ecommerce retailer, the CLLR course 1 has improved my thinking on team development and leadership roles. Currently one of my colleagues is going through the program as well and each month he raves about the information in our weekly KPI meetings. It truly brings out the best in you and reshapes thinking you didn’t even know was bad before.
Donna says
Wow! I just interviewed a Christian school superintendent today, presenting the LLRC program. He liked what he saw but said they are committed to a year long program to complete accreditation for ACSI. I just forwarded this blog to his email. Guess who I am calling tomorrow? 🙂
Tina Rasmussen says
This is great news!

Lori Clark says
Is there are difference between ACSI schools and CSI schools. I just spoke with a principal and he said they are a part of CSI (Christian Schools International). He did not know either if they are one and the same or different.
Zach Frey says
Hi Lori! From what I can tell based on some quick research online, CSI and ACSI are two completely different organizations. Thanks!
Heather Fromm says
This is great. Does anyone have ideas or tips for contacting schools for this?

Please confirm the LLR in 6 parts is the Corporate Pack 1 on the cpethink.com website (author Chris Brady). Also includes the Financial Fitness Pack final exam. These courses are included in CPA continuing education.
Wendy says
This is absolutely awesome that teachers are able to receive CEUs! I’m wondering if someone can tell me if this also applies to public schools as well.
Thank you!
