Title 309 CMR 3.00 - Licensing Of Licensed Site Professionals
Appendix B - MINIMUM LENGTH AND MINIMUM ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVED COURSES

Universal Citation: 309 CMR 3.00 MA Code of Regs B
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

Pursuant to 309 CMR 3.09, the Board may approve four different types of courses for continuing education credit for LSPs: DEP Courses, other courses, conference workshops, and college/university courses.

To be approved by the Board for continuing education credit for LSPs, 309 CMR 3.09 requires that each of these courses must meet a certain minimum length requirement. Courses that do not meet the applicable minimum length requirement cannot be approved for any LSP continuing education credit. In addition, an LSP must satisfy specific minimum attendance requirements for each type of course in order to obtain any continuing education credit for that course.

Minimum course length and LSP attendance requirements are summarized in the table below. This table is for convenience only; in the event of a discrepancy between the table and the provisions of 309 CMR 3.00, the language within the text of the regulations will govern.

Type of Course

Minimum Course Length

Minimum Attendance Requirements

DEP Course

one contiguous hours

. For one- to four-hour course:

100%

. For course longer than four hours: four hours or 75% of course, whichever is greater

[If attendance requirement is not met, LSP receives no credit.]

.

Approved Conference Workshop

one hour

. For one- to four-hour workshop: 100%

. For workshop longer than four hours: four hours or 75% of the workshop, whichever is greater [If attendance requirement is not met, LSP receives no credit.]

.

College/Univ. Course

Meets at least weekly for one quarter/term/semester

. If taken for grade: None

. If not taken for grade: 75%

If an LSP attends for the minimum portion required but less than 100% of the course, the LSP will receive continuing education credit on a pro rata basis. For example, if the LSP Board has approved an eight-hour DEP Course for eight "DEP Course" credits, an LSP who attends 71/2 hours of the course will receive 7.5 credits.
