For Instructors
All instructor continuing education courses must be pre-approved by the Board.* To renew an instructor license, 45 hours of continuing education are required:
- 30 hours of teaching-methodology courses
- 15 hours of clinical practice courses (within the field of licensure)
*Approval Exceptions - Post-secondary courses on teaching methods or clinical practice offered by higher education institutions not licensed by the Board (such as schools in the MNSCU system, University of Minnesota system, or other post-secondary schools licensed by the MN Office of Higher Education) may qualify for continuing education credit for board-licensed instructors without additional board-approval. Please contact the Board office for additional information.
