These were copied from the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency on 12/22/25.

Continuing Education Requirements

Eighteen (18) hours of continuing competency are required for each license renewal.

Programs MUST be approved by the Committee or be sponsored by one of the following:

  1. American Occupational Therapy Association or AOTA approved providers.
  2. National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy.
  3. Indiana Occupational Therapy Association or IOTA approved providers.

Continuing competency hours must be obtained within the biennial renewal period; and may not be carried over from one (1) licensure period to another.

If a license or certificate is valid for less than twelve (12) months, no continuing competency is required for renewal. If the license or certificate is valid for twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) months, nine (9) hours of continuing competency is required for renewal.

Audits for compliance with continuing competency requirements and actions regarding noncompliance will be conducted as provided for in IC 25-1-4.

A license or certificate holder must do the following:

  1. Certify completion of continuing competency required by this rule at the time of license renewal.
  2. Retain verification of completion of continuing competency required by this rule for three (3) years after the last renewal date.
  3. Present verification of completion of continuing competency required by this rule at the request of the committee.

During each two (2) year license period, an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant must complete at least eighteen (18) hours of continuing competency of which at least nine (9) hours must be in Category I courses.

An occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant may not earn more than nine (9) Category II credit hours towards the requirements under this section.

All eighteen (18) hours of the continuing competency requirements may be obtained through distance learning methods provided it is obtained from an approved provider.

Category I continuing competency courses include the following and must be at least one (1) contact hour in length:

  1. Formally organized courses.
  2. Workshops.
  3. Seminars.
  4. Symposia.
  5. Home study programs, including approved online or web-based, audio, and video instructional programs.
  6. Undergraduate or graduate courses from an accredited institution related to the management, practice, and education of occupational therapy.

Category II continuing competency activities include the following:

  1. Publications of books, articles, or films related to practice, management, or education of occupational therapy. A maximum of five (5) contact hours will be awarded under this subdivision.
  2. Preparation for teaching a course in occupational therapy in an accredited program. A maximum of six (6) contact hours will be awarded under this subdivision.
  3. Supervision of fieldwork for Level I and Level II students. One (1) contact hour will be awarded for every thirty-two (32) hours of supervision with a maximum of six (6) contact hours.
  4. In-house or in-service seminars specifically designed for training or teaching.
  5. Actively participating with professional organizations as an officer or committee chairperson.
  6. Supervising occupational therapy students when doing their observational hours as a pre-OT student applicant.
  7. Research activities other than publications and presentations.

Continuing education courses offered by accredited colleges are acceptable for purposes of this rule if the course content is designed to directly enhance the practitioner’s knowledge and skill in providing services relevant to the practice of occupational therapy.
