The board will hold at least 1 program every year that fulfills the requirements promulgated herein. Attendance at this program will automatically be recognized by the board as verified credit toward the requirements set forth herein.
The board shall approve those programs submitted for board approval based upon the following factors:

The board will allow any program approved by the board prior to the program’s date to contain in its brochures or literature the statement “This program in whole or in part counts toward fulfilling requirements promulgated b the state of Louisiana for interior design continuing education units.”
Proof of Compliance
A licensee must submit evidence on a yearly basis that he or she has participated in an approved continuing education program. The licensee must show that he or she has earned 5 or more contact hours of continuing education, or 0.5 CEU’s.
Those programs sponsored by the board will verify attendance of licensee and maintain records of attendees on a yearly basis, and that information will be retained by the board for 5 years.
It is incumbent on the licensee attending a pre-approved program to provide verification of attendance satisfactory to the board, such as a transcript or certificate of attendance.
Licensees attending a pre-approved program must submit attendance verification with license renewal on a yearly basis no later than January 31 of the year after the year in which the program was attended.
