More details on renewing your OT license in West Virginia
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 the 2025/2026 licensing cycle.
To get you going, here is the information I found—along with corresponding links.
Here are the basic OT/OTA CEU requirements in West Virginia:
- Due every two years from initial licensure
- Initial renewals require 12 hours of continuing education
- Subsequent renewals require 24 hours of continuing education
Verify here: West Virginia Board of Occupational Therapy
Here are the specific occupational therapy continuing education requirements for coursework in West Virginia:
These were copied from the West Virginia Administrative Code, effective July 1, 2010.
Legislative Rule §13-4 Continuing Education and Competence
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, ethics courses, and training in coding, billing or payment systems.
Licensees should refer to Legislative Rule §13-4 Continuing Education and Competency Requirements for further information.
Step 3: Earn your CEU hours.
Okay, 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 units required to renew my license?
Yes! You can easily earn all 24 of your continuing education hours through OT Potential. Our CEU courses and weekly live webinars are AOTA approved, and you’ll earn a certificate of completion after you pass a short assessment!
Step 4: Renew your license. 🎉
Now it’s time for the big moment. Conveniently, you can renew your license online.
Where can West Virginia OT professionals get the best deals on CEUs?
At OT Potential, all of our courses are 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 to protect our reimbursements and scope of practice. That’s why we’ve made it part of our mission to support these associations.
So, we have a win-win proposition for you. Join OT Potential using the promo code “WestVirginia” to receive a 15% discount—and we’ll donate 15% of your total to WVOTA.
🎉 Price of OT Potential with West Virginia discount = $84.15 (Reg $99)
🎉 Donation amount to WVOTA = $12.62
The best part? Whenever you renew your OT Potential membership, it will be at your discounted price. AND, we’ll make another donation to WVOTA.
This is one of the cheapest ways to earn all of your required West Virginia 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. I even offer a Medbridge Promo Code for 40% off right here.)
