What continuing education is required for a licensee in inactive status?

For a licensee in inactive status in Kentucky, there is no continuing education requirement. This means that individuals who have chosen to keep their license in an inactive state are not obligated to complete any continuing education courses to maintain that status. The inactive designation allows licensees to retain their license without participating in the active practice of their profession, thereby relieving them of the responsibility to keep up with ongoing educational requirements that are typically mandatory for active licensees.

In contrast, active licensees must fulfill specific continuing education requirements to ensure they remain knowledgeable about current laws, regulations, and practices in their field. The requirement to complete a certain number of hours, such as 5, 10, or 20, only applies to those actively practicing, reflecting the need for continuous professional development.
