Why D is correct
Under current G.S. 58-33-30(d)(1), the Commissioner is barred from requiring any specific prelicensing course or number of hours; the former 20-hour requirement was repealed by S.L. 2025-45 effective October 1, 2025. Approved providers still exist, but their courses are voluntary study aids rather than a licensing prerequisite, so the only mandatory education figure in North Carolina today is none.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 20 hours was the historical requirement, repealed in 2025; it survives only as an outdated textbook figure.
- B) No self-study hour count or supervised practice examination is mandated by G.S. 58-33-30.
- C) Completing an approved-provider course is voluntary preparation, not a statutory mandate of any length.
Memory hook
Since late 2025, North Carolina demands zero prelicensing hours.
