PURPOSE: This rule establishes the policies of the investigation and review of continuing education courses.

1. (1) The commission may investigate approved or proposed course offerings by conferring with course providers or instructors, visitation with or without prior notice, or by surveys to participants, instructors or course providers.
2. (2) If the commission determines that a course provider’s instructor or course is in violation of any of these rules or otherwise fails to maintain reasonable standards, notice in writing specifying the defect will be transmitted promptly to the course provider, the instructor, or both. Failure of the course provider, the instructor, or both to correct the defects within thirty (30) days shall void the commission’s prior approval.
