West Virginia OT CEUs: License Renewal and Online Courses

Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in West Virginia

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

These were copied from the West Virginia OT Board website.

Continuing Education Requirements

• All licensees are required to complete continuing education and competency activities as part of license renewal requirements.

• A licensee who obtains a license during the first twelve months of any 24 month reporting period shall complete 12 contact hours before the end of the current reporting period.  Subsequent renewals require a minimum of 24 contact hours during the 2 year period preceding the license renewal date.

• It is the responsibility of the licensee to assure that the selected courses meet his or her individual needs to maintain knowledge of occupational therapy theory and practice.  The Board does not require pre-approval of specific courses or providers.  Core job specific requirements of your chosen industry of occupational therapy DO NOT count toward continuing competency  requirements for licensure renewal. Examples include:  CPR, first aid training, documentation courses, and training in coding, billing or payment systems.

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 West Virginia occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.

Step 2: Confirm the West Virginia 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.
