Louisiana OT CEUs: License Renewal and Online Courses

Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in Louisiana

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

These were copied from the Louisiana Administrative Code, updated 2025:

§1965. Continuing Professional Education Requirement

A. Subject to the exceptions specified in §1979 of this Subchapter, to be eligible for renewal of licensure an occupational therapy practitioner shall, within each year during which they hold licensure, evidence and document in a manner prescribed by the board, the successful completion of not less than 14 contact hours, or 1.4 continuing education units (CEUs) which must include: 1 hours of Ethics (approved by AOTA, LOTA, or NBCOT) and a 1 hour course provided by LSBME on the rules and regulations for OTs and COTAs.

B. One CEU constitutes 10 hours of participation in an organized continuing professional education program approved by the board and meeting the standards prescribed in this Subchapter; one continuing professional education hour is equal to one- tenth of a CEU.

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