Which statement is true about CMP hours?

• A. Hours must be earned within a 1-year reporting period.
• B. Must earn continuing education hours within a 2-year reporting period.
• C. Green Associates must earn 50 hours.
• D. Specialty hours are not counted.

Answer: (B)

Continuing education hours under the Credential Maintenance Program are organized around a two-year reporting period. You need to earn the required CMP hours within that two-year cycle to keep credentials active, so the timing window is the key point. A one-year window isn’t correct, and the specific number of hours isn’t fixed at 50 for Green Associates, nor are specialty hours excluded. Specialty hours do count toward CMP as part of the two-year cycle.
