Referral Program Policy

The CE Company’s Referral Program (the “Referral Program” or the “Program”) is our way of showing you appreciation for each and every person you introduce to The CE Company. To participate in the program, you'll need a confirmed account at The CE Company at the time you are deemed to have made the referral and at the time you redeem your credits. When you get credit for referring a friend or colleague, the credit amount will be deducted from your next invoice.

How the The CE Company Referral Program works (the "Rules")

  1. Sign in to your account and click your name in the upper right corner and select the “Referrals” item found in the menu panel. Click the “Copy” button to copy your unique link.

  2. Share this unique referral link with friends, colleagues, and any other individual in the United States, age 18 or older, who does not currently have an account at The CE Company.

  3. The person you share your unique referral link with (“Referral”) will need to complete the following steps before you will earn a Referral Credit:

    1. Your Referral must visit app.thececompany.com/register by clicking on your unique referral link.

    2. Your Referral must open an account at The CE Company, which includes a valid email address,

    3. You Referral must purchase co-sponsorship for a new continuing education program, which is approved by The CE Company.

  4. If your Referral is eligible for an account with The CE Company, and meets all of the terms and conditions of the Referral Program (“Qualified Referral”), you will receive an update to the information on your referral page:

    1. “Pending” if an account is opened but a new continuing education program has not been approved by The CE Company.

    2. “Paid” when an account is opened, their new continuing education program has been approved and credit has been applied to your account.

    3. “Total Credit Earned” is the total amount of credit earned for referrals during the lifetime of your account.

    4. “Total Referrals” is the number of referrals that you invited to The CE Company who created an account, but may or may not yet have co-sponsorship for an continuing education program.

  5. Check and monitor your referrals by signing in to The CE Company. This information will appear on your ‘Referrals’ page.
