What types of continuing education formats may the board approve?

The board recognizes a variety of continuing education formats to ensure that funeral directors have access to diverse learning opportunities. Approving courses, lectures, seminars, correspondence, or homestudy programs allows for flexibility in education. This accommodates different learning styles and schedules, ensuring that all funeral directors can fulfill their continuing education requirements effectively.

By including correspondence and homestudy programs, the board acknowledges that some professionals may prefer or require the ability to learn at their own pace, without the constraints of scheduled sessions. The inclusion of courses and seminars also ensures hands-on learning and interaction with peers and experts in the field, which can enhance the educational experience. This broader range of formats ultimately fosters a more knowledgeable and competent profession, which is beneficial to both the funeral directors and the communities they serve.
