What portion of continuing education hours must be earned through live classroom instruction?

• A. At least 25%
• B. At least 60%
• C. At least 50%
• D. At least 75%

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is that a portion of continuing education must be completed through live classroom instruction. The rule requires at least half of the CE hours to be earned in a live setting, such as in-person or real-time virtual classes. This ensures you engage with the material, can ask questions, and receive immediate feedback from an instructor, which helps confirm understanding and keeps you up to date on current laws and practices. The remaining hours can be completed through approved non-live formats like online or self-study, but you must meet that minimum live instruction requirement. So, at least 50% of CE hours must be in live classroom instruction.
