Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 9, September, 2024

13.3 PROGRAMS WHICH QUALIFY

(a) A program qualifies as acceptable continuing education if it is a formal program of learning which contributes directly to the professional competence of an individual licensed to practice as a public accountant. The responsibility for substantiating that a particular program meets the requirements of this paragraph rests solely upon the licensee.

(b) Continuing education programs requiring attendance will qualify only if:
(1) An outline of the program is prepared in advance and preserved.

(2) The program is at least one-half hour (25 minute period) in length, excluding meal time and business session. Credit shall be based on contact hours. A 50-minute period will be considered as being equal to one hour. Hours devoted to preparation by the participant shall not be counted as a contact hour. Effective January 1, 2020, (CPE taken for the 2021 license year and beyond) a licensee may earn a maximum of 4 hours of CPE each year by completing nano learning courses. A nano learning course is a tutorial program designed to permit a participant to learn a given subject in a ten-minute increment using electronic media and without interaction with a real time instructor. For purposes of calculating nano learning CPE credits, one CPE hour shall consist of five ten-minute courses. For all other CPE courses, credits must be earned in one-half hour (25 minute) increments.
