California LVN Continuing Education Online

California LVNs generally need 30 contact hours of continuing education every two years to renew an active license. The 30-hour requirement does not apply to the first renewal after initial licensure. Check the official BVNPT guidance for your specific circumstances.

After the first renewal, California LVNs generally need 30 contact hours completed during the two years immediately before renewal to maintain an active license.

Platinum Learning CE lists BVNPT Provider #15144 for its LVN continuing education offering. You should verify the provider’s current status and confirm course eligibility through official California resources before purchasing.

Processing times can vary. The BVNPT advises that renewal processing may take approximately eight weeks after submission. Applications to change an inactive license to active status may take around two to four weeks under normal conditions. These timeframes are estimates, not guarantees. Check the official BVNPT website for current guidance.

Certificate availability depends on completing the required course activities and meeting the applicable purchase requirements. Review the course details before enrolling. If your certificate is not available after completion, contact Platinum Learning CE support at 424-347-0362.

After the first renewal, California LVNs generally need 30 contact hours of continuing education for each two-year renewal cycle to maintain an active license. The first renewal following initial licensure is exempt from the 30-hour requirement, subject to applicable BVNPT rules.

Platinum Learning CE’s refund policy should be reviewed before purchase. If the published policy provides a 30-day refund period subject to certificate-use restrictions, those terms apply. Check the official Refund Policy page for the full conditions and eligibility requirements.

Do not assume your course completion is automatically reported to the BVNPT. Keep your certificates as proof of completion and follow the Board’s current renewal instructions. Contact Platinum Learning CE if you need clarification about its reporting process.

The renewal fee must be received by the expiration date to continue working legally. If the required continuing education has not been completed, an LVN may need to renew with inactive status and cannot practice until the license is active. A delinquency fee may apply if the renewal fee is not paid within 30 days after expiration. Check your license status and follow current BVNPT instructions.

California LVNs must retain their continuing education certificates for four years. The BVNPT may request copies during an audit, so keep your certificates in a safe place.

The first renewal following initial licensure is generally exempt from the 30-hour continuing education requirement. After the first renewal, LVNs generally need 30 contact hours during the two years immediately before renewal to maintain an active license.
