Full OT/OTA CEU Requirements in Delaware
Here are the occupational therapy continuing education requirements for coursework in Delaware:
These were copied from the Delaware Administrative Code, effective 3/1/26.
3.0 Continuing Education
3.1 Continuing education units (CEUs) are required for license renewal and shall be completed by July 31 of each even numbered year. Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants are required to complete 24 hours per biennial period.
3.1.1 Proof of continuing education is satisfied with an attestation by the licensee that the licensee has satisfied the requirements;
3.4.4 Mandatory CE content
3.4.4.1 During every biennial renewal period during which a license is required to complete CE, the licensee must complete a minimum of 2 hours in elder or child abuse.
This doc goes on to describe other acceptable activities. 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 Delaware occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant license here.
Step 2: Confirm the Delaware 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.
Step 3: Earn your CEU hours.
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.
Step 4: Renew your license. 🎉
Ok, now it’s time for the big moment.
You can renew your license online.

Yes! You can learn more in our post: How OT Potential Helps Meet Your CEU Requirements.
