This presentation will take an in-depth look at several actual Board cases to see what went wrong resulting in a complaint being filed with the Board of Examiners. We will discuss the facts of the case and analyze what the licensee could or should have done differently that may have avoided the complaint. Topics covered during this presentation will be ethics, standards of practice, how to protect the public, and the best ways to avoid a complaint. *This will provide ethics and standards of practice PDHs for two years. Please keep in mind that if you carry over one hour of each, then you will need to exceed the annual requirement of 15 PDHs by 2 additional hours for the current year. Please see FAQ’s at the Board site. https://www.ncbels.org/continuing-education/individuals/#faqs

This module will provide an overview of the current EC (2023 version) and introduce the changes section by section. The instructor will also explain the correct way to complete each section.
