18VAC15-40-78: Maintenance of continuing professional education records

A. Each licensee must maintain evidence of the satisfactory completion of CPE for at least three years following the end of the license renewal cycle for which the CPE was taken. Such documentation must be provided to the board or the board's duly authorized agents upon request. The following will be maintained by the licensee to document completion of the hours of CPE specified in 18VAC15-40-72:

1. Evidence of completion that contains the name, address, and contact information of the training provider;

2. The dates the licensee participated in the training;

3. Descriptive material of the subject matter presented documenting that the subject matter covers the content areas covered by the board's examination or the list of acceptable topics provided in 18VAC15-40-73; and

4. A statement from the provider verifying the number of CPE contact hours completed.

B. The board may conduct an audit of its licensees to ensure compliance with the applicable CPE requirements. Licensees who are selected for audit must provide the necessary documentation stipulated in this section.

C. The licensee may request additional time to meet the CPE requirement; however, CPE hours earned during a license renewal cycle to satisfy the CPE requirement of the preceding license renewal cycle will be valid only for that preceding license renewal cycle.
