I always intend to do it in advance, but I end up doing it at the last moment. One year, I submitted proof of completion of continuing education with minutes to spare before my license expired.

I like to have me CE completed by the end of September each year, It's a good feeling to do this and it also frees you up for a good run the last the 3 months each year !!

I start as far in advance as possible...like to get it out of the way early so there is no problem in case of an emergency comes up. Learned that lesson the hard way one year when I let it go till the last minute and finished just under the deadline. Never again...

This is an interesting question Shahar.  I like to start and complete my CE classes in just one month. Ideally, late spring/summer is ideal for me since this is our off-season compared to winter when it's very busy.
