Renewal cycle: how often the licence is renewed. Continuing education: the hours the board states, with the period they cover (for example 40 hours every 12 months next to a renewal cycle of 36 months); the two periods can differ, and no total is calculated. Hours are in the unit each source uses; the state page gives the detail.
