Course Completions:
You are encouraged to complete your courses as soon as possible, as courses are updated regularly. Please review the accreditation and course approval information on the inside cover of the test booklet. Certain accrediting bodies issue course expiration dates. We consider the content of our courses to be timely and accurate for 2 years. We will honor course completions for 2 years from date of purchase unless the professional accrediting body has issued an expiration date. AKH attempts to renew all approvals prior to their expiration.
Passing Score:
AKH Inc. considers a score of 70% or better as passing (unless indicated on post-test). If you score below the required passing score, you will be issued an answer sheet that highlights the questions you missed; you must re-take only the questions you missed. This is a one-time service only, at no charge.
Reporting of Continuing Education Credit:
The healthcare professional is responsible for their licensure. You should always retain your certificate for 4-5 years as proof of completion and send copies to your governing body as required.
In most cases it is the healthcare professional’s responsibility for reporting CE credit to their boards of professional licensure or certification.
For certain professionals, AKH Inc. is required to submit a completions report monthly. This includes:
· CRNAs – For AANA approved courses, AKH reports completions once a month.
· Florida Radiology Professionals – AKH provides a report twice a month to the FL Bureau of Radiation Control for Radiology Professionals who have completed continuing education in the preceding 2 weeks, this report is compiled and submitted on the 5th and 20th of each month
· Florida Nurses – AKH reports completions of the mandatory courses (HIV/AIDS, Domestic Violence, Preventing Medical Errors) monthly to CEBroker.
