Ill. Admin. Code tit. 68, § 1450.1135 - Application for Continuing Education Courses and Curriculum
a) A licensed
education provider seeking to provide CE courses shall submit:
1) A signed and completed CE course
application in a format provided by the Division;
2) The required fee set forth in Section
1450.130; and
3) A course description, learning objectives,
comprehensive timed outline, course objectives and, when required, the final
examination and answer key for each course, as well as the exam proctor policy
and written proctor agreement. Materials provided to the students and other
information may also be required by the Division. Each outline shall make
reference to the textbook used, if applicable, and other material related to
the course or subject matter, and shall conform to a standardized curriculum
approved by the Division.
b) CE courses shall comply with a
standardized curriculum provided by the Division.
c) A licensee may earn credit for a specific
CE course only once during the current term of the license.
d) Each CE course shall include one or more
subjects from either the core category, as set forth in Sections
1450.450(b)(3)(A)
and
1450.540(b)(3)(A),
or elective category, as set forth in Sections
1450.450(b)(3)(B)
and
1450.540(b)(3)(B),
regardless of whether students are in a classroom or are being taught by an
interactive webinar or by online distance education. All CE courses shall be a
minimum of 1 credit hour and shall be offered, at a minimum, in 1 hour
increments. The education provider shall clearly indicate on the certificate of
completion the number of credit hours earned from each CE course and identify
whether the course was from the core or elective category.
e) All CE courses shall:
1) Contribute to the advancement, integrity,
extension and enhancement of professional skills and knowledge in the practice
of licensed activities; and
2)
Provide experiences that contain subject matter and course materials relevant
to that set forth in Section 5-70 of the Act.
f) Each CE course, except those offered in a
classroom, by interactive webinar, or by online distance education, shall end
in a mandatory proctored final exam prepared and provided by the licensed
education provider consisting of at least 12 questions for every 1 credit hour
and for which the minimum passing score shall be no less than 75%. The
education provider's registration material shall inform the student in writing
if the examination will be in electronic format, paper format, or both. Credit
hours exclude any time devoted to taking the examination.
1) Pursuant to Section 5-70(j) of the Act, no
more than 12 hours of CE credit may be taken in one calendar day. The proctored
final exam for a CE course or courses may be given at the end of each
individual course or group of courses. For example, a licensee who intends to
take 12 hours of CE may complete the proctored final exam and earn CE credit
for the courses at the end of each individual course or group of courses,
provided that the licensee does not exceed the 12- hour limit of instruction
per calendar day referenced in Section 5-70(j) of the Act.
2) All examinations shall be proctored
pursuant to an exam proctor policy. Proctors must be impartial third parties
(i.e., not a licensee's sponsoring broker, managing broker, relative, or
colleague) as defined in Section
1450.100.
3) If a student fails a CE examination twice,
the student must successfully retake the CE course and pass the examination in
order to receive credit.
4) The
education provider shall provide a closed book examination.
g) A licensed education provider
must verify student attendance for all courses presented in a classroom, by
interactive webinar, or by online distance education.
