What Qualifies as an Enterprise Architecture Development Unit (EADU)?
Similar to the Professional Development Units (PDUs) used by FEAC's partner, the Project Management Institute (PMI), the reporting of valid, accurate CEA recertification EADUs is an honor system where you, the CEA Fellows, are professionally and ethically responsible for the truth of and accuracy in the reporting of qualified EADUs you have earned, yearly. In each case, and in those other qualifying, not listed, but applicable to this re-certification process, the FEAC Institute recognizes each earned EADU as representing one hour engaged in or attendance at one of the following EA related activities.

Basically almost any training or activities that build an Architect's EA or EA related skill sets, towards a higher management level or technical specialization, can apply to satisfying EADUs. If you have any questions about EADUs and whether they qualify, do not hesitate to ask FEAC what applies.
