Individual/single course approval is available to:

CE providers who offer only an occasional course that is relevant to occupational therapy can apply for LOTA’s approval by submitting an application to LOTA's office. CE providers who offer multiple courses per calendar year may better benefit from LOTA's Approved Provider Program.

OTs/COTAs who have already taken a course that is expected to meet CE requirements can apply to have that course approved by LOTA by submitting an application to LOTA's office.

Note: Courses may be submitted for approval either before or after the course date but must be submitted within the same calendar year. Each course must be re-submitted for approval if the same course is to be offered again the following year. 

Benefits of Single Course Pre-Approval to CE Providers:

CE providers who meet criteria will have their course designated as approved by LOTA for CE hours/units and have the course posted on the LOTA website prior to the course date.

• Recognition throughout the profession that the approved course has met LOTA’s Approved Provider standards as a quality continuing education activity.
• Recognition by Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME) as a pre-approved course for licensure renewal.
• Free basic course listing on our LOTA website.
• Opportunity for marketing/e-blasting to state OTs/COTAs.
