				  insurance seminars, may be considered for approval by the Board. However, the
				  Board must be satisfied that the content of the activity is directly related to
				  preneed or would otherwise enhance funeral directing and funeral service
				  skills.
(b) Credit may be given for
				  continuing education activities where live instruction is used or mechanically

				  must be made to the Board for approval. The Board may at any time revoke the
				  accreditation of an accredited sponsor for failure to satisfy the Rules in this
				  Section.
(2) The Board may evaluate
				  a program presented by an accredited sponsor and, upon a determination that the
				  program does not satisfy the requirements of
				  21 NCAC
				  34B .0409, notify the accredited sponsor that
				  any presentation of the same program, the date for which was not included in
				  the announcement required by
				  21 NCAC
				  34B .0411(e) below, is not
				  approved for credit. Such notice shall be sent by the Board to the accredited
				  sponsor within 30 days after the receipt of the announcement. The accredited

				  of appeal to the Board within 15 days of receipt of the notice of disapproval.
