Vermont OT CEUs: License Renewal and Online Courses

Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in Vermont

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

These were copied from the Vermont Administrative Rules for Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants, effective as of 7/17/26.

3.2 CONTINUING COMPETENCE REQUIREMENTS

(a) "Continuing competence" means the direct involvement of an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant as a participant in activities promoting continuing competency in occupational therapy theory and practice. A total of 20 hours of continuing competence shall be earned in a two year renewal period. An occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant who is renewing his or her license for the first time after initial licensure is subject to a 10 hour continuing competence requirement per full year of licensure. If the license has been held for one year or less, no continuing competence is required. If held mare than one year but less than two years, ten hours is required.

(b) Scope of qualified activities for maintaining continuing competence:

1) To be accepted by the Director, activities must be related to a licensee's current or anticipated roles and responsibilities in occupational therapy and must directly or indirectly serve to protect the public by enhancing the licensee's continuing competence.

2) Subject matter for qualified activities include research; theoretical or practical content related to the practice of occupational therapy; or the development, administration, supervision, and teaching of clinical practice or service delivery programs by occupational therapists or occupational therapy assistants.

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