You must obtain at least 12 hours of continuing education every 2 years to renew this license. We offer the courses for the Initial Qualifier and the Continuing Education Courses.

Our courses are approved by the Department of Commerce for distance learning. We will send you the reference materials and the exam. You can study when you want, then take the exam. Once you pass the exam we will send you a Certificate of Completion which you attach to the Credential Application and send to the State. For the continuing education courses, we notify the State of your passing the course; they send us an acknowledgment of the crediting to your education account. We then send the State Acknowledgment and a letter stating you passed. You will then receive a notice from the State to send in their fee to renew this license for 2 years. The renewal fee this year was $30.00 for the 2 year license.
