Standard 5.2: Does there need to be a 30-minute interval between accredited and nonaccredited education in virtual activities?
The 30-minute interval is required for all live activities, whether the activity takes place in-person or online. For live, online activities, if the learner will remain in the same "virtual space" for a nonaccredited session, then the provider must ensure that there is a 30-minute interval before or after accredited education.
If the learner is required to leave the virtual space to transition between accredited and nonaccredited activities, and will need to take an action, such as clicking a link that clearly communicates that they are leaving the accredited education, then there is no time-interval requirement.
