Both licensees and CE course providers may request to have CE courses approved by the Board. You must use the DELPROS online portal to request approval of a CE course(s) that you either have taken or want to take (licensees) or want to provide to licensees (providers). For more information on how to submit a request, see the Physical Therapist/Athletic Trainer Service Requests webpage.


Continuing Education Requirement

General Audit Information

Random audits are performed by the Board to ensure compliance with the license requirements. License holders selected for the random audit must verify that they have maintained the required CEU and any other information required by the Board to confirm their continued eligibility for the permit. For complete information, see Section 13.3.2 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.

If you are selected for audit, you must upload within 20 days of receipt of the notice, a copy of:
