What is the record retention requirement for CE providers?

• A. 4 years after each licensure biennium the course was offered
• B. 2 years after the course
• C. 5 years
• D. Indefinitely

Answer: (A)

Record keeping for CE providers is tied to the licensure cycle, and the period you must retain records is four years after the licensure biennium in which the course was offered. Since licensure cycles run two years, this four-year window ensures documentation is available for audits across the current renewal period and the next one. In practice, you’d keep attendance rosters, completion records, course details, and related documentation for that four-year span so the Board can verify compliance if an audit occurs. Keeping records for only two years or longer than four years isn’t aligned with this requirement, and indefinite retention isn’t required.
