Here are the occupational therapy continuing education requirements for coursework in Arizona:

R4-43-203 – Continuing Education for Renewal of License

A. A licensee shall complete continuing education for renewal of a license as follows:

1. Occupational Therapist, 20 clock-hours for renewal of a 2-year license; and

2. Occupational Therapy Assistant, 12 clock-hours for renewal of a 2-year license.

B. A licensee shall complete the continuing education clock hours in subsection (A) within the 2-year period before the date the licensee’s license expires, or if requesting a return to active status license, within the 2-year period before the date the licensee submits the return to active status request to the Board.

C. Continuing education shall contribute to professional competency and the practice of occupational therapy. The Board shall determine if continuing education hours contribute directly to the professional competency and if the continued education hours relate to the clinical practice of occupational therapy.

This doc goes on to describe other acceptable activities. I recommend you read the rules in full.

Steps for Renewing Your OT License

Step 1: Look up your OT/OTA license.

To begin the process, I always double-check that my license is displaying correctly. You can look up your Arizona occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.

Step 2: Confirm the Arizona OT continuing education requirements. 

It’s always good to double check for any updates to your licensing cycle. You can do so with the resources above. And, please reach out to me if you see any discrepancies.

Step 3: Earn your CEU hours (discounts below)!

Ok, now that you know your requirements, it is time to start earning those CEUs! There are of course a lot of options out there, but we hope you consider checking out the courses offered by OT Potential.

Step 4: Renew your license. 🎉

How to Get a Good Deal on CEUs

At OT Potential, our courses are all built around helping you get new evidence into practice.

But, what good is evidence-based practice, if you are not reimbursed appropriately for it? Our local associations do SUCH important advocacy work, when it comes to reimbursement and scope of practice. That’s why we’ve made it part of our mission to support these associations.

So, we have this win-win proposition for you. Join OT Potential using the promo code “Arizona” to receive a 15% discount—and we’ll donate 15% of your order to ArizOTA.

👍 Price of OT Potential with your Arizona discount = $84.15 (Reg $99)
🎉 Donation amount to ArizOTA = $12.62

And, the best part is if you decide to renew, it will be at your discounted price. AND, we’ll make another donation to ArizOTA.

This is one of the cheapest ways to earn all of your required OT CEUs, and you can feel good doing it because you are giving back to your state association ❤️.

(If OT Potential is not right for you, I am also a long-time fan of MedBridge, and through OT Potential, you can snag a MedBridge Promo Code for 40% off.)
