How long must a licensee retain evidence of participation in continuing competence activities?

A licensee must retain evidence of participation in continuing competence activities for two compliance periods. This requirement ensures that there is a record of the licensee's efforts to maintain and enhance their professional skills over an extended timeframe. The rationale behind retaining records for this duration is to allow regulatory bodies to verify a licensee's compliance with the continuing education requirements more effectively. Retaining documentation for two compliance periods also serves to provide an adequate timeline that reflects ongoing professional development, demonstrating commitment to practicing at a competent level while adhering to legal and professional standards.
