Universal Citation: 16 NM Admin Code 16.66.5.9
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. The Board shall automatically accept any educational course towards a licensee's continuing education requirements if the course satisfies one of the following criteria:
(1) The course is approved or accepted by
another governmental state home inspector licensing authority;
(2) The course is approved by the United
States Department of Education or the New Mexico Department of Education;
or
(3) The course is certified or
approved by any society, institute, council, or association of home
inspectors.
B. A course that does not satisfy the criteria set forth in subsection A of this section may still be accepted by the board through the following process:
(1) A continuing education course may be
submitted to the board for approval, by either the course instructor or the
licensee, along with the following documentation:
(a) Course description, objectives, and
goals;
(b) Course syllabus,
including the number of educational hours, detailed timeline, provisions for
make-up work, required text, and reading resources, instructional materials and
handouts, requirements for successful completion and method of evaluation;
and
(c) Documentation as to the
course instructor's qualifications, background, and
expertise.
(2) Any
continuing education course submitted to the board for approval shall be
reviewed, along with its supporting documentation, by the board's continuing
education committee, which will make a non-binding recommendation to the board
as to whether to approve or disapprove the course. The board shall vote on
approval of the course, either as part of its consent agenda or otherwise, at
its next regularly-scheduled meeting. In the event that the continuing
education committee recommends the disapproval of a course, this information
shall be conveyed to the course instructor, who may request in writing the
opportunity to be heard at the next regularly-scheduled board meeting. Where
the instructor has made a request to be heard and the board votes to deny the
application, the board will issue a final written decision no later than 15
business days following the board's meeting.
(3) The board, and its application committee,
shall consider the following criteria in determining whether to approve a
continuing education course:
(a) Whether the
content of the course is related to the practice of home inspection;
(b) Whether the instructor is qualified to
teach the course; and
(c) Whether
the instructor has violated the Home Inspector Licensing Act, the board's
rules, or any criminal laws that are substantially related to the practice of
home inspection or a failure to pay child support.
