(a) All courses shall be certified by the commissioner before being acceptable for continuing education credit. A course must be certified in advance of presentation and an approved electronic application for certification must be submitted to the commissioner by the sponsor sixty (60) days before the course. All correspondence courses or individual study programs must be approved and certified in accordance with Section 6 before being offered to licensees for continuing education credit.
(b) Any sponsor intending to provide classes, seminars, or other forms of instruction as certified courses shall apply electronically on forms approved by the commissioner and furnish for the commissioner's approval a subject matter outline, the presentation method, the instructor qualifications, and other information supporting the request for approval.
(c) The outline shall include a statement of the method used to determine whether the licensee satisfactorily completed the approved course. The method may be a written examination, a written report by the licensee, certification by the providing organization of the licensee's program attendance or completion, or other method approved by the commissioner as appropriate for the subject.
(d) Upon receiving the application, the commissioner will certify or deny the course or program as qualifying for credit and indicate the number of hours of credit awarded for approved subjects. The commissioner will furnish a written explanation of the reason for any denial of the application. Upon certification, the course will be given a course identification number which shall be used on all certificates of completion and verification forms.
(e) Program certification will be effective for up to two (2) years, or until any material changes are made in the program, after which it must be resubmitted to the commissioner. Courses previously certified may be submitted by referencing the previous course certification number, and outlining any material changes to the course.
(f) If any course has not been certified by the commissioner before it is presented, the course may be advertised or presented as "continuing education credits have been applied for" but shall not be represented or advertised in any manner as "approved" for continuing education credit. No course may be advertised as "continuing education credits have been applied for" until a completed application for certification has been submitted to the commissioner.
