The phrase "continuing education" should be replaced with "continued professional development" throughout 18VAC10-20-670.

Continuing Education implies college courses whereas Continued Professional Development encompasses all of the following which includes education:

• Seminars
• Live, Interactive Web Seminars
• Distance Learning
• On-site Training
• P.E. & F.E. Exam Review Self-Paced Courses/Printed Materials
• Live P.E. Exam Review Courses on the Web
• Preparation for GRE, GMAT, LSAT, & SAT
• Online University Degree and Certificate Programs

If the APELCIDLA Board is developing regulations to require continued professional development and allow credit for more than just education courses to maintain ones license, then 18VAC10-20-670 needs to reference "Continued Professional Development" instead of "Continuing Education" to be accurate and complete.
