Who no longer needs continued education?

• A. 65+ with 15 years
• B. 70+ with 20 years
• C. 65 with 5 years
• D. 0

Answer: (A)

Continuing education requirements can be waived for certain seasoned, older licensees. The exemption is typically given to someone who is at least 65 years old and has 15 or more years of experience in the field. Reaching that age together with substantial tenure signals a level of expertise and a reduced need for ongoing education, so they no longer have to complete continued education for renewal. Therefore, the scenario that fits both criteria—being 65 or older and having at least 15 years of experience—fits the exemption. The other options don’t meet these two requirements (age and/or years of experience), so they don’t qualify for the exemption.
