Every renewal hour,
with its certificate.

School therapists, psychologists and nurses often renew two or three credentials on different cycles with different rules: a national certification, a state license, a teaching certificate. Enter each one’s cycle and required hours, log every activity once with its certificate, and the organizer shows what is still owed, in which topic and at what monthly pace.

Many clinicians keep more than one credential. One course can count toward both if each one’s rules allow it.

Rules differ and change

National certifications and state boards set their own hours, cycles, topic requirements and lists of approved providers, and they revise them. As examples at the time of writing, ASHA’s certification maintenance asks for 30 hours every three years including ethics and cultural responsiveness hours, and NBCOT certification for occupational therapists runs on a three-year cycle. Always confirm with the current rules.

Audits

Boards and associations audit a share of renewals and ask for proof of every activity. A certificate saved the day you earn it, with the provider, date and hours, answers the audit in minutes. Keep records for at least one full cycle after the renewal they supported.
