Jun 15, 201610 yr I keep proof of education around for around 2 years. My license is renewed every 2 years and I have proof of continuing education in case I get audited.
Jun 15, 201610 yr Ha ha i have read the book 'the magic of tidying' by Marie Kondo and gone on a tidy frenzie I get into that mode after every visit to my mom, she is in a one bedroom in senior housing but she is a slob and a clutterbug. I vow to NOT do the same to my child and have really weeded out a lot over the past few years.Back to the subject, I have a binder that I keep them all in which is in my office at school, so there it sits all full and will get dumped probably when I retire!!

If you get audited for one year, they are likely to want to see copies of certificates for previous renewals.
