What is true about continuing education courses for licensees?

Continuing education courses for licensees typically require that all courses be pre-approved by the governing Board. This ensures that the content of the courses aligns with the regulatory standards and the specific needs of the profession. Pre-approval signifies that the Board has vetted the course for quality and relevance, ensuring that the education provided will maintain or enhance the competencies required for the practice of nursing home administration.

This requirement helps protect the public by ensuring that all licensees have engaged in educational activities that are deemed appropriate and beneficial by the authority in charge. It also avoids the potential dilution of educational standards that could result if licensees were allowed to select any course without oversight.

Other options indicate varying levels of approval or lack of substance regarding course selection, but they do not align with the established protocols where the Board plays an active role in ensuring the quality of educational opportunities.
