Source read on November 12, 2026: Vermont Occupational Therapy Administrative Rules (PDF, effective June 1, 2004, as linked from the Office of Professional Regulation’s occupational therapy rules page), rules 3.1 and 3.2.
Cycle
“Licenses expire every two years and must be renewed before the expiration date.”
First renewal
A first renewal after initial licensure needs 10 hours per full year of licensure. A license held one year or less needs no continuing competence, and one held more than one year but less than two needs ten hours (paraphrased).
What counts
Activities “must be related to a licensee’s current or anticipated roles and responsibilities in occupational therapy”. Qualified activities include continuing education courses, AOTA self-paced and other formal self-study courses, academic coursework, independent study, mentorship, and other activities the rule lists (paraphrased).
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.
