Continuing Education
Requirements for South Carolina

Residential Care Administrators & Nursing Home Administrators
A nursing home administrator must have 20 hours of continuing education with five hours in patient care. A community residential care facility administrator must have 18 hours of continuing education. When an administrator serves both types of facilities, 29 hours of continuing education is required; five hours of the 29 must be devoted to community residential care. The board reviews continuing education courses from sponsors (such as schools, professional associations and independent providers) and individual administrators. Programs approved by the National Continuing Education Review Service (NCERS) of the National Association of Boards of Examiners of Long Term Care Administrators (NAB) are accepted by the South Carolina Board.
