Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. 60 hours (4 credits)

Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 10 years

  • B: A criminal record is not an automatic disqualifier under Act 53 of 2020.
  • C: The standard is not limited to felonies; the relevant test is whether the conviction directly relates to the profession.
  • D: The Commission may consider criminal history; it is not barred from doing so, but its discretion is limited to profession-related convictions.
