As referenced above, OSPA is named in the law as being the entity that certifies to SBP that a person has completed their continuing education requirement. This is not something OSPA sought, nor were we consulted by lawmakers on this change. As many of you know, OSPA is a two-employee operation, so we are grappling with how our staffing must change in order to track CEs for roughly 3,000 licensees.
CE tracking has been an OSPA practice for those with two-year independent licenses, as SBP does not have the infrastructure to verify whether individuals have completed their hours.
OSPA has created accounts on our website for all licensees. This will be where you upload documentation of your CE completion. This service will be included in OSPA members and for a small fee for nonmembers. It will begin in October of 2025.
OSPA does not expect nor is trying to profit from this new responsibility.
