Proof of Compliance

Each licensee shall provide proof of satisfying the continuing education requirements as required by the board and shall maintain records on forms prescribed and furnished by the board to support the professional development hours claimed by the licensee. The board will provide a log form to record continuing education activities.
The records shall include the following:

  • A log showing the type of activity claimed, the sponsoring organization, location duration, instructor's or speaker's name, and professional development hours earned; and
  • Attendance verification records in the form of completion certificates or other documents supporting evidence of attendance.

The licensee shall maintain the records for at least four years.

Copies may be requested by the board for audit verification purposes.

Non-Compliance Penalties
Each licensee shall provide proof of satisfying the continuing education requirements as required by the board. If the licensee fails to furnish the information as required by the board, the license shall not be renewed.

Exceptions and Exemptions
A licensee may be exempt, upon board review and approval, from continuing education requirements in any of the following situations:

  • The new licensee's first renewal period is less than two years from the original date of licensure.
  • A licensee is called to active duty in the armed forces of the United States for a period of time exceeding 120 consecutive days in a calendar year. This individual may be exempt from obtaining the 15 professional development hours (PDH) required only during that year.
  • A licensee experiences physical disability, illness, or other extenuating circumstances. The licensee shall provide supporting documentation for the board's review and approval. If the licensee elects to return to practice, the licensee shall earn professional development hours for each year exempted, not to exceed 30 PDH.
  • A licensee lists the licensee's occupation as retired on the board-approved renewal form and certifies that the licensee is not currently practicing a technical profession. If the licensee elects to return to practice, the licensee shall earn professional development hours for each year exempted, not to exceed 30 PDH.
