Who is responsible for documenting attendance and continuing competency hours?

The licensee is responsible for documenting attendance and continuing competency hours as it pertains to their professional development and compliance with regulations. In the context of funeral law in Nebraska, this responsibility ensures that the licensee stays updated on industry standards, practices, and legal requirements, which is crucial for maintaining their license to operate.

This requirement emphasizes the importance of self-management in professional education. By taking responsibility for their own continuing education documentation, licensees reinforce their commitment to providing quality service and upholding the ethical and professional standards of the funeral profession. This requirement is foundational in ensuring that all practicing licensees remain competent in their duties, thus protecting the interests of the public and the integrity of the profession.

The other options, while relevant entities in the overall regulatory framework, do not hold the specific responsibility for tracking and documenting these educational hours. The Department of Health and Human Services and funeral homes may play roles in oversight or supporting the process, but the onus ultimately lies with the individual licensee to maintain accurate records of their continuing education.
