Who is responsible for documentation of attendance and continuing competency hours?

The documentation of attendance and continuing competency hours falls upon the licensee because they are ultimately responsible for ensuring that they meet the continuing education requirements set by the state. This includes attending relevant training and educational programs that contribute to their professional development.

The licensee is expected to keep accurate records of their completed continuing education activities as proof of compliance with licensure renewal requirements. This personal responsibility emphasizes the importance of accountability and ensures that licensees stay updated on best practices and regulatory changes in the funeral service field.

Other entities, such as the Board of Funeral Directing and Embalming, employers, or professional associations, may provide resources or support in terms of education and training, but the primary responsibility for documentation rests with the individual licensee. This structure fosters a professional environment where licensees take initiative in their continued education and competency.
