Course Attendee FAQ

The APTAKY is happy to introduce our members to a great new benefit. Starting May 26, 2025, we will begin offering members access to CEU Locker. CEU Locker provides an easy and convenient method for tracking your CEU requirements in our state, searching for approved courses that meet state requirements, and being assured that the courses you are taking provide quality content for our specialty.

Continued competency is required for renewal and reinstatement of licenses/certificates. All active licenses/certificates expire on March 31 of every uneven year. Continued competency credits for the current biennium must be earned from April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2025. According to state guidelines, physical therapists must complete 30 hours of continued competency activities (20 hours for physical therapist assistants) prior to renewing their credentials. Any courses not designated as approved must be submitted to the APTA-KY Continued Competency Committee for review and approval. These courses can be uploaded and submitted for approval by creating a CEU Holder account in CEU Locker. The review process can take up to 6 weeks to complete.

Use of the CEU Locker service is an exclusive benefit of your APTAKY Association membership. Create your account today and thank you for being an APTA-KY member! For additional information, visit the CEU Locker Support Page or download the FAQ sheet.
