Section 161-020-0130 - Approval Requirements for Non Pre-Approved Courses for Qualifying and Continuing Education
Universal Citation: OR Admin Rules 161-020-0130
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024
(1) The following courses are subject to the review and approval of the Administrator or designee and may be acceptable for approval as Qualifying Education and Continuing Education:
(a) Course work approved
by the AQB which also meets the requirements of these rules;
(b) Courses approved for credit hours at a
community college, college or university in the State of Oregon shall be
approved by the Board if said courses are substantially the same as required in
the Board's rules and procedures. The applicant for certification shall submit
documentation to show equivalency, i.e. course description, outlines, etc., to
the satisfaction of the Board.
(2) Courses from providers located outside the State of Oregon may be acceptable as Qualifying Education and Continuing Education:
(a) If the course has been
pre-approved by the licensure/certification board of that state and the
procedures of that state board for approving Qualifying Education are
equivalent to those of the State of Oregon;
(b) If the rules and procedures of the state
of origin are not equivalent to those of the State of Oregon, the applicant may
still submit the course for approval by the Board by submitting documentation
to show equivalencies with OAR 161-020-0045 or OAR 161-020-0055, i.e. course
description, outlines, etc.;
(c) If
the state where the course was taken allows Qualifying Education courses to
have a duration of less than 15 hours, as required in Oregon, but at least 30
hours with an examination, then the Board shall determine whether or not the
course content is acceptable, is substantially the same as approval for new
courses, and will be reviewed on a case by case basis for as long as such need
exists. The burden of proof remains with the applicant to demonstrate the
equivalency of the course work.
(3) For courses taken prior to the adoption of this program, the criteria for approval shall be based upon the requirements set forth in OAR 161-020-0045, i.e. course descriptions, outlines, etc.
