Continuing Education Update

As a reminder, approved courses are valid only until the end of each licensing period. This means that when licenses are up for renewal, you will also need to apply for course renewal.

For example, if your course was approved in January 2023 – your course would be approved through December 2024. AND, if your course was approved in January 2024 – your course would also only be approved through December 2024.
