How many CEUs does Arizona require?
Arizona requires 20 CEUs completed within the last 2 years. You are required to 1) report compliance with the continuing education requirement and, 2) keep and maintain CEU documentation for five (5) years. The Board shall accept no more than 15 CEUs during an initial licensure period or a two-year licensure period for courses or activities a licensee completed online, except for live courses or activities a licensee completed online (our Real-Time Live Broadcasts). At least 2 ethics courses must be completed per renewal.
Your required 5 Live CEUs may be obtained online by taking our CEUs > Real-Time Live Broadcast courses. These courses are Interactive Webinars that meet the criteria described above (live courses or activities a licensee completed online). Executive Order 2020-01 has been repealed, therefore the live continuing education waiver is no longer in effect, meaning you are once again required to obtain 5 Live CEUs by means of an Interactive Webinar. Click here for the general announcement from the ASBRC.
The remaining 15 CEUs you need may be obtained by taking our courses on the CEUs > Recorded Live Credit Course Schedule page and our Self-Directed (available 24/7) courses.
Can I get all of my CEUs online?
You can obtain all of your CEUs online by taking a combination of our Real-Time Live Broadcast and Recorded Live Credit Courses. See our Discounts page for special offers (including Unlimited CEUs).
Are your courses approved by both the AARC and the Arizona State Board of Respiratory Care Examiners (ASBRCE)?
Our courses are approved by the AARC and accepted by the ASBRCE. To see our AARC approvals click here.
How much does my renewal cost?
License renewal in Arizona is $150 paper or $153 online. Initial application fees are $120 plus a $100 app fee and $50 fingerprint fee.
