Approval and CEU/Contact Hour Information

APTA courses are accepted in most states and the District of Columbia, as permitted by state regulations. Some states require preapproval. APTA secures required approvals and includes applicable approval codes on certificates of completion.

CEU/contact hour information is provided for informational purposes only. Each state determines how continuing education applies to licensure requirements. Attendees are responsible for confirming their state’s rules.
