Flexible Access to CEB MCLE
CEB takes a different approach to MCLE. Unlike most on-demand providers, we don’t sell individual courses because we know the frustration of paying for a class only to find it’s not what you need. Instead, our fixed, affordable pricing gives you unlimited access to all of our California-specific content. This means you can preview courses, review materials, and choose what’s most valuable to your practice — without wasting time or money. Our goal is to make MCLE about learning, not just compliance.
