How long must a licensee keep their completion certificate for a course?

A licensee is required to retain their completion certificate for a course for a period of two years. This retention period is important as it provides proof of continuing education and compliance with state requirements, which may be verified during audits or license renewals. Keeping the certificate for this duration ensures that the licensee can demonstrate their commitment to maintaining updated knowledge and skills in their field.

The other options reflect varying timeframes that may not align with regulatory requirements. Retaining the certificate for less than two years could result in a lack of documentation during essential checks, while having to keep it for more than two years may impose an unnecessary burden on the licensee without benefits in terms of regulatory compliance.
