Nevada OT CEUs: License Renewal and Online Courses

Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in Nevada

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

These were copied from the current Nevada Administrative Code, updated 2024.

NAC 640A.070  Continuing education: Generally. (NRS 640A.110, 640A.180)

1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5 and NAC 640A.101, a person with a standard license shall complete, to the satisfaction of the Board, at least 24 hours of continuing education per biennial renewal cycle.

2.  If the licensee obtains more than 24 hours of continuing education during a biennial renewal cycle, he or she may carry over a maximum of 10 hours towards completion of his or her requirement for continuing education for the following biennial renewal cycle.

3.  A licensee must achieve a passing score on the Nevada Occupational Therapy Jurisprudence Examination at least once every 5 years.

4.  A person may receive credit for fieldwork supervision, the completion of a particular continuing education course or the achievement of a passing score on the Nevada Occupational Therapy Jurisprudence Examination only once during a biennial renewal cycle.

5.  A person who obtains a standard license within 12 months of graduation from an educational program which is accredited by an agency approved by the Board and which includes a fieldwork program is required to obtain 12 hours of continuing education in order to renew the license for the first time.

6.  A licensee shall comply with the requirements for continuing education, including, without limitation, submitting to the Board a list of any courses and activities that the licensee completed to satisfy the provisions of this section. The materials described in this subsection must be submitted at the time, as established by the Board, the licensee is required to submit to the Board the application for the renewal of his or her license.

7.  To ensure compliance with the provisions of this section, the Board will conduct random audits of the continuing education completed by licensees.

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