Kentucky dietitian and nutritionist license renewal and continuing education

Kentucky regulation 201 KAR 33:030 states that before renewal “a licensee or certificate holder shall have earned fifteen (15) hours of approved continuing education during the compliance period.”

Cycle

“The annual continuing education compliance period shall extend from November 1 of each year to October 31 of the next year.” Up to 15 hours may carry over into the next period (paraphrased).

CDR registration

“A document that reflects a continuing valid registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration shall constitute proof of compliance with the continuing education requirement by a person licensed as a dietitian or certified as a nutritionist.”

First renewal and audits

Initial licensees are exempt at their first renewal. The board audits at least 15 percent of licensees each year, and records are kept for two years after the period (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 dietetics license only, and only what the official page named above says. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. CDR registration is separate; see the RD and DTR overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
