PROVIDERS WISHING TO PRESENT A PROGRAM

Applicants wishing to present any continuing education programs must submit an application 45 days before the first presentation date of the program.  The program must be relevant to the practice of mortuary science.  Sponsors or providers of programs are responsible for submitting applications for approval.  On-going programs that are presented as needed shall be approved biennially.  There is no application fee unless the application is submitted within 45 days of the first presentation date.  This application fee is $50.00.

PROVIDERS WISHING TO BECOME CERTIFIED PROVIDERS

An applicant wishing to present multiple continuing education programs may submit an application to become a certified continuing education provider instead of applying for each single program as described above.  The Board will thoroughly screen such applicant to ensure that the applicant conducts quality programs.  The evaluation of the provider will be based on the presenter’s educational qualifications and experience, adequate resources, past performances, and  general program content.  The fee for becoming a certified provider is $100.00.  Certification must be renewed annually.

BOARD’S POWER TO REVOKE PROVIDER’S CERTIFICATION

The Board has the authority to revoke the certification of a continuing education provider immediately if the Board determines that the provider can not deliver quality programs.  The Board may consider reinstatement of certification if the applicant can show cause for reinstatement, by providing proof of qualifications and documentation of improvement.  Reinstatement of certification is $100.00.
