Correct answer: 8 hours — instructors receive double credit for teaching approved courses

Under NMLS rules, an instructor of approved continuing education courses may receive credit toward their own continuing education requirements at a rate of two hours of credit for every one hour taught. Therefore, teaching a 4-hour course earns the instructor 8 hours of CE credit (4 hours × 2 = 8 hours). "4 hours — equal to the length of the course taught" is incorrect — the credit is doubled, not equivalent to the hours taught. "8 hours — instructors receive double credit for teac..." is incorrect — the ratio is 2:1 in favor of the instructor (2 hours of credit per 1 hour taught), not 1:2 as stated. "0 hours — teaching a course does not satisfy persona..." is incorrect — teaching approved CE courses does satisfy personal CE requirements under this provision.
