Your regulating entity may allow certain criteria to satisfy or eliminate the need to complete continuing education credits for your renewal.
Exemptions must still be reported in place of CE credit if your Board requires compliance tracking through a CE Broker account.
To review accepted options or to report an exemption:
1. Log in to your CE Broker account.
2. Click ⊕ Report CE at the top of the page.
3. For accounts with multiple licenses, verify that the license you intend to report the exemption for is selected. Click on the Additional Options tab.
4. Select the licensing period for which you are reporting the exemption.
- The dates you select will correspond with your current license cycle date.
For example, if you need to renew your license on or before 07/31/2024 in order to renew, you'll report your exemption for the cycle 08/01/2022 - 07/31/2024. - The date range you select should always start before your renewal deadline/expiration.
