This doc goes on to describe other acceptable activities. Again, 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 Kentucky occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.

Step 2: Confirm the Kentucky 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. 🎉

Ok, now it’s time for the big moment.

You can renew your license online.

Do OT Potential Online Courses Count as CEUs?

Yes! You can learn more in our post: How OT Potential Helps Meet Your CEU Requirements.

Note that OT Potential does not currently offer a 6-hour training program on suicide treatment, and management, as required every 6 years in KY.

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 “Kentucky” to receive a 15% discount—and we’ll donate 15% of your order to KOTA.

👍 Price of OT Potential with your Kentucky discount = $84.15 (Reg $99)
🎉 Donation amount to KOTA = $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 KOTA.

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.)
