Additional Information:

• Course Repetition: The same course cannot be repeated for credit within a 24-month period.

• Non-Resident Licensees: Generally exempt from Oklahoma CE requirements if they meet their home state’s CE requirements, provided those requirements are substantially similar or reciprocal.

• License Renewal: CE requirements must be completed before renewing a license. Renewals are processed online and can be initiated up to 90 days before the license expiration date. It’s recommended to complete CE at least 30 days prior to renewal to ensure a smooth process.
