Continuing education approved in Alabama

The first reporting period is October 1, 2014- September 30, 2016 and bi-annually thereafter.
All courses and providers must be Board approved.
Funeral Directors/Embalmers are required to complete 8-hours bi-annually.
Licensees who hold more than one license issued by the Board may use the same continuing education hours for renewal of both licenses without having to earn separate continuing education hours for each license renewal.
Excess credit hours earned in one bi-annually reporting period will not be carried forward to the next reporting period. Alabama requires a certificate of completion and licensees must retain certificates a minimum of 3 years for state auditing purposes.
Nonresident licensees who hold a current license as a funeral director or embalmer in another state may satisfy their CE requirements through reciprocity, if the out of state credits meet the minimum standard requirements for AL. Resident licensees may claim credit for attendance for CE courses in other states as long as the programs are recognized and approved by the Alabama Board of Funeral Service.
Licensees who are 65 years of age or older and have held a license for 10 years prior to the end of the reporting period are exempt from CE requirements.
