(a) The Commissioner will determine the number of credit hours to be assigned to each approved course. Credit hours will not include time spent on meals, breaks or other activities unrelated to the course.

(b) To receive credit, a student shall complete the requirements of an approved course, including attendance or participation (if other than a classroom format) and examination requirements.

(c) A student may not earn credit for attending a subsequent offering of the same course within the same licensing period.

(d) The instructor of an approved course shall earn twice the number of approved credit hours for that course. The instructor may not earn credit for instructing a subsequent offering of the same course within the same licensing period.

(e) A student shall maintain records of credits earned for at least the two most recently completed licensing periods in addition to the current licensing period.

(f) Preexamination education credits shall be valid for 1 year from the date the course is successfully completed.
