Formal hours include workshops, seminars, meetings, on-line (must have certificate or letter documenting date, hours & topic) post degree graduate course work, and in-service presentations provided by employers. The remaining hours in continuing education can be obtained via self-study or through additional formal CE. In general, if a licensee receives a certificate, letter, or transcript of completion documenting date, topic, provider, and number of hours, the continuing education is considered formal.
