Points may be mixed to meet the target value, but requirements and limitations to the categories apply based on the year the activity is being claimed.
All categories are subject to the yearly maximum if no specific maximum is noted.
Minimum requirement of 10 CM points per cycle in IH rubric areas. Distance learning activities are capped at 5.0 CM points per activity regardless of duration or content. A given course may be claimed for credit only once in a recertification period. If a course retains the name of another, but has substantially difference content, credit may be allowed if justified. Safety topics receive safety CM points which are accrued toward the 40 CM point requirement and are not part of the minimum IH requirement.
