GOTA Continuing Education Course Approval
The Continuing Education Review Committee is a sub-committee of the GOTA Education Committee. Members are appointed by the President of GOTA, and are former Georgia O.T. Licensure Board members. The Committee’s purpose is to review courses submitted by CEU providers, who wish to have their educational offerings pre-approved for content and hours according to Georgia Licensure Board standards.
There is a fee for this service, and though approval does not guarantee acceptance by the Georgia OT Licensure Board, historically, they have accepted GOTA’s recommendations on courses. Click here for information about course approval.
