Delaware respiratory care practitioner license renewal and continuing education
Delaware’s Division of Professional Regulation states that active respiratory care practitioners must complete 20 hours of approved CE during each full licensure renewal period, between December 1 and November 30 of even-numbered years (paraphrased).

What counts
“At least 10 of the required 20 hours shall be from traditional programs attended either in person or by the use of telecommunication technology that allows the attendee to interact with and ask questions of the presenter during the presentation.”
First renewal
Licensees in their first year need no CE, and those licensed more than one but less than two years need 10 hours of traditional approved CE (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 respiratory care 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. NBRC credential maintenance is separate; see the RT overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
