Continuation of Certification.--To maintain certification, persons shall serve under full-time appointment and shall participate annually in at least one week (40 hours) of continuing education in the field to which they intend to be licensed. In case of failure or delay, the Board of Ordained Ministry shall investigate the circumstances and judge whether to extend the time. In a case clearly recognized as exceptional, the district committee may recommend an alternative to these requirements, which may be approved by a three-fourths vote of the Board of Ordained Ministry.
