Although the Skipper can answer this as well as I, I'll try to help.

The Skipper is correct, the NH course is NASBLA approved (internet or classroom) and recognized in other States.

The portion of the regulation that you cite only refers to the testing out option offered in New Hampshire. In New Hampshire you can opt to "test out" without taking the NASBLA course. If you "test out", you must have a minimum score of 80% and your "test out" certificate is only good in this State.

Hope this helped clear up the confusion.
