As we enter the 2026 renewal season, we encourage you to submit your renewal application by October 1 to receive your renewed license or certificate by the end of the year. Renewing ahead of schedule not only helps avoid delays but also gives us more time to address any issues before expiration. Please review the resources on this page to ensure you are up to date on the latest renewal information.
You may visit the List of Valid DPR Licenses to determine if the license or certificate has been updated.
Information and Resources
Find a DPR Approved Continuing Education (CE) Course
Courses for individuals who already possess licenses or certifications.
Individual license and certificate holders are responsible for attending a continuing education course and receiving credit for only the time spent participating in the course. Breaks and time spent not actively participating in a course do not receive credit (e.g. arriving late, leaving early, or spending an excessive amount of time absent from the room).
Sponsors have the discretion to reduce the amount of time credited based on your actual attendance during a course. Reduced credit will be reflected on the record of course completion provided to you and reported to DPR. Individuals should contact the sponsor of a course when there is a reduction in the time awarded for attending a CE course.
