How long must continuing education providers keep their records?

Continuing education providers are required to maintain their records for a period of four years. This duration ensures that there is adequate documentation available to verify compliance with the continuing education requirements, supporting both the providers’ accountability and the practitioners’ eligibility to renew their licenses. Keeping records for this length of time allows regulatory bodies to audit and confirm that individuals are meeting the necessary education standards mandated by law. A four-year retention period strikes a balance between providing sufficient time for review and ensuring that outdated records are not unnecessarily kept, streamlining administrative processes.
