Section 13:36-10.9 - Approval of course offerings; provider responsibilities

(a) A continuing education provider may receive approval for a continuing education course or program pursuant to the provisions of 13:36-10.7. For purposes of this section, the "continuing education provider" means the person or entity that determines the time, date, location and speaker for a course or program. Board approval of a continuing education course or program shall be valid only for the biennial licensing period in which approval was obtained. The provider may apply for Board approval either prior to or no more than 60 days following the offering of a course or program.

(b) A licensee seeking to take a course or program, which the provider has not had pre-approved by the Board may apply to the Board for pre-approval or post-approval of the course or program offering no more than 60 days following the course or program offering. The licensee shall submit information similar to that which is required to be supplied by course providers pursuant to 13:36-10.7.

(c) An individual, group or association seeking course or program approval may impose a reasonable differential in course or program fees based upon membership within a group or association. However, in no event shall a sponsoring individual, group or association completely exclude from the course or program any licensee who is not a member of the group or association.

(d) A continuing education provider shall submit to the Board, in writing, any changes in course content, hours of instruction and/or lecturer for an approved course or program for review and re-approval by the Board. A continuing education provider shall notify the Board, in writing, of any changes in course date, time and location for an approved course or program.

(e) A continuing education provider shall maintain all records relating to approved courses or programs for two biennial licensing periods and shall provide such documentation to the Board upon request.

(f) A continuing education provider shall monitor attendance at, or ensure completion of, each approved program or course and issue certificates of completion or other comparable documentation to course or program attendees. Such certificates or documentation shall be printed with the following information:

1. Title of the course or program;

2. Date attended and location;

3. Credit hours earned;

4. Name of the provider; and

5. Name of the instructor or speaker.
