Occupational Therapy CEU Requirements by State

Your state license and your NBCOT certification can both demand continuing education, and they do not always accept the same activities.

Two systems

State boards license practice. Their hour totals, jurisprudence rules, and online limits are in state law and rule. NBCOT certification maintenance is a national certification process. Letting one lapse does not automatically describe the other. This page does not publish a 50-state OT hour table, because those numbers need to be read from the board that issued the license.

These courses

Nutritional Physical Therapy courses are built and classified for physical therapy continuing education. An occupational therapist may still take them as professional study. That is not evidence the hours count for an OT license or for NBCOT. AOTA Approved Provider status is not claimed.

Questions

Why is there no OT hour number on this page?

A single number would be wrong for many states. Use your board. The eight detailed pages elsewhere on this site are physical therapy pages.
