Oregon OT and OTA license renewal and continuing education
The Oregon Occupational Therapy Licensing Board quotes its rule 339-020-0010: “All current licensees shall obtain a minimum of 30 points of CE from Board approved categories during the two years immediately preceding the date of the license renewal”.
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.
Source read on November 12, 2026: the board’s Continuing Education page. The rule it quotes applies to all current licensees; the page does not list separate hours for occupational therapy assistants.
Required topics
The page lists two requirements for all licensees: “You are required to complete 1 hour on cultural competency (you choose the course) during every renewal.” and “You are required to complete the OHA pain management module during every renewal period.”
NBCOT certification
Keeping current NBCOT certification may satisfy the 30-point requirement, but not the cultural competency or pain management requirements (paraphrased).
Points
“Unless stated otherwise, one point equals one contact hour.” Sixteen to 30 of the required points must come from categories 1 through 10, and no more than 14 from categories 11 through 18 (paraphrased).
Records
“You are required to retain your original CE certificates for 4 years from the date of the certificate.” The page read does not name a carryover allowance.
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.
