CE Learning Systems can be used to acquire CE hours or PDH for renewal of licensure.
One CE hour is equivalent to one PDH.
Renewal Info:
Licensees should accrue at least 40 PDH during each 2-year renewal cycle.
No more than 20 PDH may be accrued in a single PDA category during a 2-year renewal cycle.
A maximum of 5 hours may be carried from the last renewal cycle to the next cycle, if the hours were earned within 3 months of the renewal cycle and are in excess of the required 40 hours.
Example: A licensee accrues 48 hours within the 2-year renewal cycle—an excess of 8 hours. Five of the excess hours were accrued during the last 3 months of the cycle. The other 3 were accrued earlier in the cycle. The 5 hours earned in the last 3 months can be carried into the next renewal cycle.
Documentation (e.g. certificates) of the 40 PDH should not be sent to DORA unless specifically requested to do so. If a license has been lapsed or a licensee is selected for an audit, verification documentation is required.
PDA Categories that can be used for credit:
(1) Coursework
PDH may be accrued for credit for the coursework category through continuing education. A total of 20 PDH may be accrued in the Coursework category. Our online/web courses fall under this category.
(2) Independent Learning
PDH may be accrued for credit for the Independent Learning category through: Reading Journals and professionally relevant literature. A total of 20 PDH may be accrued in Independent Learning activities during each 2-year renewal cycle. Our book courses fall under this category. DORA has refused to accept courses for those who send certificates in for independent learning activities.
