Continuing Education
Like most licensed professionals, SLP’s must take continuing education classes and engage in profession-specific learning. The state refers to this as evidence of continuing competence, and you’ll need 30 clock hours of it every three years. One of the most common ways to obtain these credits is by attending seminars or taking classes. You can also do many other activities, such as publishing an academic paper, teaching a seminar, or even self-study.
There’s a detailed description of approved activities on the board’s website. You’ll also find the form used to certify your continuing competence on the application materials page.
