Generally, newly enrolled EAs will not need 72 hours of CE because they will not have been enrolled for all three years of the cycle. The 16-hour yearly minimum may not apply to them for at least one of the three years of the cycle.
Two hours of Ethics or Professional Conduct are required for each enrollment year during the enrollment cycle regardless of when enrollment began.
