GREC Education Requirements Recap Every licensee is currently required to obtain 6 hours CE per year of licensure, which equates to 24 hours CE for a 4-year renewal period. Those licensees in their first year of licensure must take a 25-hour Post-license course and this course also serves as the 6 hours of CE needed for that first year, leaving 18 more hours of CE before renewal.
GAR Scholarship Application Process Change The GAR Scholarship application process has gone green. GAR will no longer be accepting paper applications. All applications will need to be processed online.
NOTE:
Remember -
you must be ON TIME and
