Indiana OT and OTA license renewal and continuing competency
Indiana’s Professional Licensing Agency states: “During each two (2) year license period, an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant must complete at least eighteen (18) hours of continuing competency of which at least nine (9) hours must be in Category I courses.”

Cycle
OT and OTA licenses expire at the end of each even-numbered year (paraphrased). Renewal notices go out about 90 days before expiration.
First renewal
If the license was valid for less than 12 months, no continuing competency is required. From 12 to 24 months, nine hours are required (paraphrased).
What counts
Programs must be approved by the committee or sponsored by AOTA or an AOTA-approved provider, NBCOT, or the Indiana Occupational Therapy Association or its approved providers (paraphrased). No more than nine hours may come from Category II activities such as publications, teaching preparation, and fieldwork supervision, and all 18 hours may be distance learning from an approved provider (paraphrased).
You certify completion at renewal and keep proof for three years after the last renewal date (paraphrased).
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the state occupational therapy license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not cover NBCOT certification renewal, does not list fees, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
