The Mandatory Update (GENUP) course or the BIC Annual Review (BICAR, BIC status only) must be taken in a classroom and is not available online.

The remaining four (4) CE credit hours may be obtained by taking an elective course in the classroom or online. Please see our schedule at www.goschool.biz for a complete list of online and in-person elective courses (NCREC approved) that will fulfill this remaining 4 hour CE requirement.

Students may roll over a maximum of 4 elective credit hours to the following year.

Licensees must attend 90% of the scheduled hours of the CE course and comply with student participating standards in order to receive credit for the course. Anyone arriving 24 minutes or more late will not be admitted to the class.
