Can I Complete Courses Before My Certification Expires?
Find out how soon you can complete CE courses within your renewal period.
Yes, you can complete continuing education courses before your certification expiration date. Some certification organizations have requirements on how close to the license expiration date or application submission date courses can be completed. For example, the NHCO requires CE courses to be completed within 6 months of the renewal application submission date. Please confirm with your certification organization if they have requirements of this nature.
We encourage users to complete CE courses as early as permitted to avoid issues with application processing times, course expirations, or technical difficulties. Waiting until your certification is close to expiring can cause lapses in certification and stress on providers.
