- How many hours do I need to renew my license?
- You need a total of 8 hours per year of continuing education. If you have a license that is on a 3 years cycle you can take your hours at any time before your renewal date. That means for a license that renews in the 3 year cycle you may take all 24 hours this year if you want. You do not need to spread it out over the 3 years.
- How many hours can I take online?
- You may take 1/2 of your hours in a self-paced online course. You may take the remaining 1/2 of your hours in a live video conferencing course or in a physical classroom.
- How is an online self-paced course different than a live video conference course?
- An online self-paced course is taken whenever you would like. Self-paced courses are available 24 hours a day. You may log in and out as much as you would like and take it in a day or spread it out over a few months. The self-paced courses are flexible to work with your busy schedule.
- A live video conference course is similar to a physical classroom but without the travel. You log in to the course at the scheduled day and time. Once you are logged in you will see your instructor and your instructor will see you. Once everyone has logged in the video course will begin. Video conference courses may be comprised of video, live instructor interaction and question/answer segments. Save time and money by taking the hours you can’t take in a self-paced course in a video conference course.
- Do I need any special equipment to take a self-paced or video conference course?
- Most computers come with everything you would need to take either the self-paced course or the video conference course.
- A web cam with decent resolution. All recent laptops and smart phones have a camera built in. If you need a web cam we highly recommend the Logitech C920.
- The self-paced course utilizes facial recognition to confirm your identity during the course. Identity verification is required by OCILB for all self-paced online courses. Most cameras work just fine for facial recognition. You can confirm that your equipment will work by clicking here to test.
