Please note that the reporting of continuing education hours is the responsibility of the continuing education provider. Licensees may check their hours from the Continuing Education Courses Look Up. If the hours have not been reported, the licensee should contact the provider first to ensure that the hours are reported. If the reporting issue is not resolved, they have the option of filing a complaint.
