A licensee who holds an Ohio registration, and wishes to obtain the Ohio permit, must complete a total of 120 hours continuing education credit in the three years preceding application for the Ohio permit. The licensee must submit to the Board documentation of the continuing education earned on a CPE Report Form (PDF). Examples of appropriate documentation include certificates of completion, grade reports or transcripts, and other similar evidence.

A licensee who obtains the Ohio permit by reentry will need to report 120 continuing education credits for the three-year reporting period ending December 31 of the licensee's renewal year. This may mean that some or all of the continuing education earned to fulfill the licensee's reeentry requirement will also fulfill the licensee's regular continuing education requirement.

No continuing education is required to change one's license status from Ohio permit to Ohio registration.
