How many hours are required for biennial license renewal?

• A. 10 hours
• B. 20 hours
• C. 30 hours
• D. 40 hours

Answer: (B)

Continuing education hours are tied to the renewal cycle, which for this license runs every two years. The standard requirement is 20 hours of approved continuing education to complete a biennial renewal. This amount fits the two-year period, providing a reasonable pace to stay current without being overly burdensome. The other options don’t align with the renewal structure: 10 hours would fall short of what’s needed over two years, while 30 or 40 hours would exceed the typical requirement. The CE hours generally cover topics such as ethics, state laws and regulations, and professional practice, and must be completed before the renewal deadline to avoid lapse.
