Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
Current G.S. 58-33-30(d)(1) bars the Commissioner from requiring any specific prelicensing course or number of classroom hours; S.L. 2025-45 repealed the former 20-hour prelicensing education requirement effective October 1, 2025. Candidates qualify by passing the examination and applying through NIPR, and the 24-ICEC figure applies only to continuing education after licensure.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The 20-hour prelicensing requirement was repealed by S.L. 2025-45 effective October 1, 2025; current G.S. 58-33-30(d)(1) prohibits mandating any specific course or hours.
- B) 24 credit hours including 3 of ethics is the biennial continuing education requirement under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(a), not a prelicensing requirement.
- D) No apprenticeship period is required; qualification runs through the examination and the NIPR license application under G.S. 58-33-30.
