How many clock hours does one semester credit hour equate to for continuing education credit?

In the context of continuing education, one semester credit hour typically equates to 10 clock hours of education. This standard is widely accepted in professional settings and aligns with the expectations of various licensing boards, including those for counselors in Tennessee.

Understanding this equivalence is important for professionals required to maintain or renew their licenses, as it helps them to calculate how many hours of continuing education they need to fulfill their requirements effectively. For example, if a counselor needs to obtain 30 clock hours of continuing education, they would need to complete 3 semester credit hours to meet this requirement. Recognizing this conversion ensures that professionals can appropriately plan and document their educational endeavors to remain compliant with state regulations.
