audits yearly. To maintain a record, please download a continuing education log. You must also retain copies
of your certicates of completion (dates, titles, providers, hours awarded, approver required) or other approved
activity verication. For more information, please visit the continuing education section on our website.
Disclose: Each year with renewal, the credential holder attests to compliance with CCE policies and
procedures, including disclosure about any criminal, legal, or disciplinary related matters. However, if
something happens during the year, do not wait to disclose. CCE requires all applicants and credential holders
to disclose any criminal, legal, or disciplinary related matters within 60 days of the occurrence of any such
matter, unless otherwise specied to CCE in writing.

email. Payment indicates you agree to comply with CCE policies and procedures, including adherence to the
BC-TMH disclosure requirements.
