Athletic Trainer CEU Requirements by State

Holding a state license and holding BOC certification can both be necessary, and each has its own continuing-education rule.

Keep the two requirements apart

State practice acts decide who may call themselves an athletic trainer and what the license renewal requires. Those acts are not uniform. Some states tie the license to current BOC certification. Others add their own hours or jurisprudence. BOC publishes the certification-maintenance requirements, including the number of CEUs in a cycle and the evidence-based practice category. Read the current BOC page rather than a reprinted number that may have changed.

Whether these courses count

They are classified on this website for physical therapy continuing education. They are not advertised as BOC Approved Provider courses, and a physical therapy board’s acceptance is not a BOC decision. If your state board accepts only BOC-approved providers, do not assume these hours qualify.

Questions

Where is the 50-state athletic training hour chart?

It is not on this site. State rules change and several states defer to BOC. Use the licensing board and bocatc.org.
