(c) Offered by a provider of continuing education who is approved by the Board.

2. Any continuing education that does not satisfy the requirements set forth in subsection 1 must be approved by the Board. Such approval may be obtained by applying to the Board on a form prescribed by the Board which includes, without limitation:

(a) An outline of the course;

(b) The qualifications of each presenter; and

(c) An agenda detailing the dates and times of each segment of the continuing education.

3. A licensee may obtain credit toward the required hours of continuing education by completing a crematory certification program approved by the Board pursuant to NAC 642.130.

4. A licensee may complete not more than 4 hours of continuing education per each period of renewal by attending, in person, a meeting of the Board if the Executive Director or a member of the Board provides the licensee at the conclusion of the meeting signed documentation of the licensee's attendance at that meeting.

5. Pursuant to NRS 642.416, proof of completion of continuing education must be maintained by the licensee for 5 years.
