Missouri OT CEU Requirements & Discounts!

If you obtained your occupational therapy license in the state of Missouri, you will need to earn continuing education units at required intervals in order to maintain your license. To help, I’m going to walk you through the steps I take to maintain my own occupational therapy license (and easily earn CEUs).

Click here to jump straight to the Missouri OT CEU discounts!

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 Missouri occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.

Step 2: Confirm the Missouri OT continuing education requirements. 

It’s always good to double check for any updates to your 2025 licensing cycle. (One year, I completed ALL of my state of Nebraska requirements only to find out that they were waived due to COVID. 😭)

But, to get you going here is the information I found, with links to where I found it.

Here are the basic OT/OTA CEU/CCC requirements in Missouri:

Due every 2 years at time of license renewal (July 1 – June 30 of odd years)

How many hours are required?

• OTs and OTAs need 24 education hours every 2-year cycle
• New licensees must complete a prorated number of hours (about 1 CEU per month of licensure in the renewal period)

Requirements:

• Documentation proving completion of education hours is required
• Hold on to your documentation for 2 years after license renewal

You may be randomly audited to demonstrate completion of your education hours, but don’t worry. The Missouri OT Board put together this helpful guide to successfully completing a continuing competence audit.

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.

Do OT Potential courses count toward the continuing education required to renew my license?

Yes! You can easily earn all 24 of your Missouri OT continuing education hours through OT Potential.

Our courses primarily fall under the following Missouri CCC category:

Continuing Competency Activity	Minimum Continuing Competency Credit	Maximum Continuing Competency Credits	Audit Documentation
Attending workshops, seminars, lectures, on-line courses with assessment (i.e. post test), and professional conferences related to occupational therapy services	1 Hour equals 1 CCC	24 CCC	CEU, contact hours, certificates of attendance/completion which should include the date the course was sponsored, letter from sponsor.

Our CEU courses and monthly live webinars are AOTA approved, and you’ll earn a certificate of completion after you pass a short assessment.

Where can Missouri OT professionals get the best deals 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 “Missouri” to receive a 15% discount—and we’ll donate 15% of your order to MOTA.

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

This is one of the cheapest ways to earn all of your required Missouri 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.)

Step 4: Renew your license. 🎉

Ok, now it’s time for the big moment.

You can renew your license online.
