- Colorado does not pre-approve courses or providers; National Registry sponsors are accepted (NASBA summary rev. 6/1/2022; Rule 7.2 requires compliance with the Joint Standards). CR&R is optional (up to 2 of the 4 ethics hours) - a generic Registry ethics course satisfies all 4. Rule 7.2(B): for internet-based programs 75% of polling questions must be answered (group programs only). Rule 7.2(C): sponsor deemed compliant on self-study credit if pilot tested, word-count computed, or attested.
