National Accreditation Accepted: CDR
Notes: The Minnesota Board states that reporting CE is NOT required this year. "In 2021 you will only attest to CE completion, and not have to log them online. Many of you asked why log them with CDR and us, so we are responding to that request. If you find our tool beneficial for monitoring your CE’s due to the different reporting dates, it will still be available. Random audits will be conducted in 2021 on 10% of all renewals and those received after 10/31. You are required to submit certificates of attendance when audited."
You must report the number of CE credits by October 31, 2021. Board policy now requires your license be renewed by October 31st. Renewal dates coincided with your November 30th license expiration in the past, not allowing time for CE audits to be completed before expiration. This change is effective every renewal cycle for consistency, not just in CE reporting years.
