New Jersey Mortuary Science Practice Exam

True or False: A full-time employee of the government who cannot engage in mortuary science is exempt from continuing education requirements.

1. True

2. False

3. Depends on the role

4. Only if they have not practiced for 5 years

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because full-time government employees involved in the field of mortuary science, regardless of their role, are typically required to adhere to continuing education requirements to maintain their licensure and stay current with industry standards and practices. Continuing education serves the purpose of ensuring that all practitioners, including those employed in governmental capacities, remain knowledgeable about updates in laws, regulations, and best practices in mortuary science. The exemption from continuing education is generally not granted solely based on employment status. Instead, it’s based on active engagement in the field. Therefore, even if someone is a full-time government employee, they would still have to meet their continuing education obligations unless specifically exempted by regulations which do not usually apply merely due to their employment status.
