Home » 4. Can continuing education I take for my recertification as an OTR or COTA with NBCOT be counted for my TBOTE Renewal?
All CE taken for license renewal must meet the requirements in the OT Rules regarding continuing education and be completed during the renewal period. All CE must, for instance, meet documentation requirements as per Chapter 367, Continuing Education, of the OT Rules.
Note, furthermore, that CE credit may be earned for the completion of NBCOT Navigator® activities. For such activities, 1 NBCOT CAU is the equivalent of 1 contact hour. No maximum. Documentation is a certificate of completion or letter of verification. Documentation must identify the licensee by name and include the date and title of the activity; the name of the authorized signer; either the signature of the authorized signer or the official seal, letterhead, or logo of the authorized signer if an area designated for a signature is not included; and the number of hours, contact hours, or CAUs awarded for the activity. When the documentation lists a unit of credit other than hours, contact hours, or CAUs, such as continuing education units (CEUs), professional development units (PDUs), or other units or credits, it must be accompanied by documentation from NBCOT noting the equivalence of the units or credits in terms of hours or contact hours. Self-reflections and self-assessments, reading list and research portal activities, professional development plans, or similar activities are not eligible for CE credit.
Refer to Chapter 367 for further CE requirements all activities must meet.
