Why C is correct
Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a) and G.S. 58-33-130(d), a licensee must complete 24 ICECs of continuing education per biennial compliance period, a 24-month period, of which 3 ICECs must be in ethics. The ethics component is mandatory for life, accident and health, and other licensee categories, so both the total and the ethics slice are testable.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Fifteen hours is not the North Carolina CE requirement; the total is 24.
- B) Twenty hours was the repealed prelicensing education figure, not the CE total, and the 3-hour ethics requirement is mandatory.
- D) Thirty-six hours with 6 of ethics doubles both statutory figures and matches no North Carolina rule.
Memory hook
Twenty-four hours per biennium, three of them ethics - every single period.
