Which one is NOT an authorized pathway for gaining Continuing Education hours?

Traditional pathways: approved provider
Alternate pathways: specified by the board
Independent study without approval
Continuing education courses approved through an agency recognized by the board

The correct answer is: Independent study without approval

Independent study without approval is not an authorized pathway for gaining Continuing Education hours because it does not meet the criteria set by most boards. Boards generally require that Continuing Education hours be gained through approved providers or specified alternate pathways. Independent study without approval typically does not meet the requirements for approved providers or specific alternate pathways, therefore it is not considered to be a valid pathway for gaining Continuing Education hours. Additionally, Continuing Education courses must be approved through an agency recognized by the board, so this eliminates option D as well. Traditional pathways through approved providers (option A) and alternate pathways specified by the board (option B) are both authorized pathways for gaining Continuing Education hours.
