Does ASA require "continuing ed?"

Curious if ASA requires umpires to complete a particular amount of "continuing education" in order to keep their credentials current? My profession has a professional code and we are required to complete a 7-hour update every 2 years in order to keep up with all the changes in the code to keep our state licensing current, and I know a lot of other professions have similar requirements--CPA's due to changes in the tax code, etc.

The reason I ask is due to hearing an ump explain to a coach that a batter was not out on a caught foul tip because "it didn't go higher than her head--that's ASA rules." He did a fine job otherwise and was good at explaining/selling some of the closer calls, but this one caught my attention.
