The Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy requires each licensed Occupational Therapist and Occupational Therapist Assistant to complete a minimum of 24 hours of continuing education for every two-year renewal period. An individual who is applying for licensure in Georgia for the first time (never having held a Georgia OT or OTA license) and who is licensed during the second year of the biennium renewal period is not required to meet continuing education requirements for that initial renewal period only.
- At least twelve (12) hours of the required twenty-four (24) CE hours must relate to direct “hands on” patient care. These hours must be obtained through attendance at live presentations such as workshops, seminars, conferences, or formal academic coursework, or real-time, interactive webinars.
- A maximum of twelve (12) hours may be obtained using on-line or home-study courses such as those offered on our site, and may be obtained in any contact area related to occupational therapy practice including but not limited to supervision, education, documentation, quality assurance, and administration.
- Two (2) hours of the required twenty-four (24) hours must be in ethics of occupational therapy practice.
NOTE: Per the Board, “Prior approval of continuing education courses is not required.”
