Course providers who request AKOTA approval for occupational therapy continuing education (CE) credits must submit this application. A flat fee is charged for non-member out of state course applications. Non-member in-state course applications are eligible for a discount code (contact president@akota.org for more information). AKOTA members DO NOT pay an application fee.

AKOTA strongly recommends that all practitioners review the most current state of Alaska Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Board Statutes and Regulations before taking continuing education courses for professional competency requirements. Courses approved by AOTA and NBCOT do not require AKOTA approval.

From the Alaska PT/OT Statutes and Regulations:

 12 AAC 54.715. APPROVED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY COURSES AND ACTIVITIES

“To be accepted by the board, a continuing education course or activity must contribute directly to the professional competency of an occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant and must be directly related to the skills and knowledge required to implement the principles and methods of occupational therapy.”

AKOTA strictly follows the State of Alaska Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy Board Statutes and Regulations.

• The program must contribute directly to an OT practitioner’s professional competency
• The program must relate directly to clinical practice, management, or education of OT practitioners
• The program is conducted by individuals who have demonstrated expertise in the subject matter of the program

Non-refundable Application Fees are payable by credit card. You must complete one application per course request.   

Active AKOTA members: NO FEES

Non-members: $100

ATTENTION Non-members: If you host an in-person course within the state of Alaska, you may be eligible for a discount code. Please email president@akota.org before filling out this form. 

*If you do not get a response within one month of your submission, please notify an AKOTA board member by email.
