If a continuing education course is not preapproved according to § 20:44:17:05, the license holder must apply to the commission for approval of credits earned at the course not later than four months before the next biennial renewal date. The license holder must supply written evidence or materials sufficient for the commission to determine that the course substantially met the criteria in §§ 20:44:17:03 and 20:44:17:04.
If a continuing education course is preapproved according to § 20:44:17:05, the license holder may either retain the attendance certificate and attach it to the application for license renewal or submit the attendance certificate at any time following completion of the course but before the renewal date.
Attendance sheets submitted by an instructor of an approved course are acceptable proof of satisfactory completion of a continuing education course. The responsibility for record keeping and providing proof of attendance at continuing education courses remains with the license holder.
