CEU hours required for renewal are which of the following?

• A. 1.5 OR 15 HOURS
• B. 5 HOURS
• C. 10 HOURS
• D. 20 HOURS

Answer: (A)

Understanding renewal requirements comes down to how continuing education is measured. Renewal is typically tied to a set number of hours, often 15 contact hours, and many boards also express that as 1.5 continuing education units (CEUs). Since 1 CEU usually equals about 10 contact hours, earning 1.5 CEUs provides 15 hours of credit. So the requirement can be stated either way, which is why “1.5 CEUs or 15 hours” fits best. The other options—5, 10, or 20 hours—don’t match the common renewal target of 15 hours (or 1.5 CEUs). Keep in mind that exact rules can vary by jurisdiction, so it’s good to check the specific board’s requirements.
