If you are registering as an Apprentice, or have passed your exam and are obtaining a new license between October 15th and December 31st, 2024 - you will pay full price (the price for an odd numbered year) for your license or registration, but it will be good through December 31st, 2026. 

This will ensure new licensees during our renewal period do not have to renew their license also. 

If you have questions on this, please reach out to our office by calling Allyson at 402-471-1058. 

Thanks!

2023 Code Adoption

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.
