LMRT certificate holders must complete CE credits with a specific split. What is the split?

• A. 6 hours instructor-led and 6 hours self-study
• B. 12 hours instructor-led and 12 hours self-study
• C. 9 hours instructor-led and 9 hours self-study
• D. 15 hours instructor-led and 15 hours self-study

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is the required continuing education (CE) structure for LMRT certificate holders. The board sets a total CE hour requirement and a specific split between formats to ensure both guided instruction and independent study.

For LMRT renewals, the total CE hours required are 18, with an exact balance: 9 hours must be instructor-led and 9 hours must be self-study. This means you complete half of your CE through activities like classes, workshops, or seminars led by an instructor, and the other half through self-directed activities such as online courses, reading, or independent study.

That’s why the correct split is 9 hours instructor-led and 9 hours self-study. The other options would not meet the 18-hour total or the equal distribution between formats.
