CE requirements
National certification figures for OT and OTA, quoted from official NBCOT pages checked November 9, 2026, plus official board links for each state and territory. We do not invent state hour totals.
Licensing, CE, and the path into OT and PT
A free public guide for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and assistants (OTA and PTA). Every license and CE rule lives with an official board or certifying body — we point you there.
Licensing and credentials
A directory of official OT and PT board websites, PT license verification links, and national exam and certification sites.
Compacts
The PT Compact is in operation. The OT Compact is enacted in some states but, as of the official October 2026 status update, is not yet operationalized. We describe each only as its official site states it.
How this guide works
National numbers appear only when we can quote them from an official page checked the same day we published them. State continuing-education hours, fees, and renewal dates must be confirmed on the board site. If a figure is not from an official source we checked, it is not listed.
