Licensure Licensure Requirements - Continuing Education Courses Continuing education courses in general do not lead to positions in a profession, occupation, trade, or career field requiring licensure. However, continuing education courses allow professionals to maintain their license on an annual cycle. It is the responsibility of the student to complete appropriate continuing education courses to earn CE's to maintain their licensure and to submit documentation to the relevant agency to support their career field. Some courses under continuing education lead to a Certificate of Continuing Education and are awarded continuing education credit consistent with the approving agency. Other continuing education courses lead to a Certificate of Completion only with no continuing education credit. These certificates allow the license to maintain their license through their appropriate licensing agency. See Appendix B. Completion Documents for Continuing Education Courses. The Director of Clinical Education provides oversight and approval on certificates.
