Continuing Education Requirements
All licensees are reminded that they must complete the annual continuing education requirement prior to submitting their renewal. Pursuant to 256 Code of Mass Regulations (CMR) 9.00, all licensees must complete fifteen (15) hours of continuing education credits during the calendar year (January 1st - December 31st) prior to their renewal date. All courses must be completed through a Board-approved provider. For more information on the annual continuing education requirement, please review the 256 CMR 9.00, as well as any relevant Board Policies and Guidelines on continuing education.
Licensees are only required to attest to completion of the requirement during the renewal process, and do not need to submit or upload copies of course certificates. Be advised that falsely attesting to completion of the annual requirement will result in disciplinary action against your license.
In addition, the Board requires licensees to retain copies of certificates showing completion of the annual requirement for the four (4) years prior to your current license cycle. You may be required to produce these documents in the event that your license is randomly selected for audit by the Board or if a complaint is filed against your license.
Fees
All fees are non-refundable and can't be waived. In addition, be advised that a small convenience fee may by assessed by DOL's payment vendor during the online submission process.
