CE hours
- CE requirement and exceptionsConfirm details
No continuing-education hours are imposed by the operative provisions of the current three-page IDAPA 24.27.01 chapter or the current Board renewal page. The rule preface still generically says the chapter establishes continuing education, so this zero-hour finding should be rechecked at the next review.
The current rule preface mentions continuing education, but its operative sections and the current Board renewal page set no recurring massage CE hours. Recheck the Board's live renewal instructions before filing.
