The OT Rules do not require that licensees complete a specific number of hours of training as HB 2059 (86th Legislative Session) does not set a specific number. To meet the requirement, licensees must complete an HHSC approved training course and retain the documentation of such as described in the OT Rules.
The OT Rules include that the completion of one training course per renewal period to meet the training requirement is pre-approved for continuing education credit up to a maximum of 2 contact hours. Additional continuing education credit may be earned for a training course exceeding 2 hours if the additional hours meet the requirements of Chapter 367 of the OT Rules.
Remember that unless otherwise specified in Chapter 367, 1 hour of continuing education is equal to 1 contact hour. For example, the completion of a 1-hour HHSC approved human trafficking course may be counted for a maximum of 1 contact hour of CE, which is pre-approved for CE credit.
Refer to the OT Rules for further regulations.
