True or False: A licensee must retain a copy of the certificate of completion for a continuing education course for two years after completion.

A licensee is required to retain a copy of the certificate of completion for a continuing education course for two years after completion. This requirement helps ensure that licensees can provide proof of their completed continuing education if requested by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) during audits or renewals. Keeping this documentation not only complies with TDLR regulations but also demonstrates a commitment to maintaining updated skills and knowledge in the cosmetology field. This retention period aligns with industry standards and supports continuous professional development, crucial for keeping licenses in good standing.

Options suggesting that this requirement is false, not applicable, or only pertains to certain licenses do not reflect the established regulations, as the two-year retention applies across the board for all cosmetology licensees completing continuing education courses.
