State Education Department Approved Sponsors of Occupational Therapy Continuing Competency Coursework (CE)

This section describes process for applying for State Education Department approval as a CE sponsor. Sponsors approvals are valid for 3 years and can be renewed.

An approved sponsor must comply with the Section 76.10 of the Commissioner’s regulations. The State Education Department may conduct audits, site visits or request information from an approved CE sponsor to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The approved CE sponsor must cooperate fully with the State Education Department in permitting such site visits and in providing such information. If the State Education Department determines that an approved sponsor is not meeting the standards as indicated, it may result in the denial or termination of the approved status of the sponsor.

Please Note: If an approved CE sponsor discontinues operation, the sponsor’s governing body must notify the State Education Department and transfer CE related records as directed by the State Education Department.
