How to Complete Your CEUs as a Respiratory Therapist in Alabama

Renewing your respiratory therapy license in Alabama doesn’t have to be stressful. With a clear understanding of the state’s CEU requirements—and a strategy that fits your schedule—you can stay compliant while continuing to deliver excellent patient care.

This guide outlines Alabama’s specific CEU requirements for respiratory therapists, the importance of choosing AARC-approved courses, and how TheCEPlace makes the entire process easy and efficient with bundled CEU packages.

Alabama Respiratory Therapist CEU Requirements

To renew your license as a respiratory therapist in Alabama, you must complete 24 total CEUs every two years. The Alabama State Board of Respiratory Therapy oversees this requirement to ensure therapists remain informed and equipped to provide high-quality care.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • CEU Frequency: Every two years (biennially)
     
  • Total Hours Required: 24 CEUs per renewal period
     
  • Traditional vs. Self-Study Format: At least 12 hours must come from traditional CEUs, such as live or interactive courses. The remaining 12 can be completed through self-paced online learning.
     
  • Reporting: All CEUs must be reported to CE Broker before renewing your license.
     
  • Audit Prep: Keep certificates and records for at least two reporting periods. If selected for an audit, you must submit documentation promptly.
     

Your license renewal is due at the end of your two-year cycle. It’s important to have all CEUs completed and reported by that time.

Why AARC-Approved Courses Matter

Not all CEUs are created equal. Courses approved by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) are recognized for their credibility, relevance, and alignment with state board standards.

Benefits of AARC-approved CEUs:

  • Meets Alabama’s Requirements: You can be confident your CEUs will be accepted.
     
  • Up-to-Date Curriculum: Stay on top of emerging treatments, safety protocols, and new equipment.
     
  • Respected Credentials: AARC approval signals high educational quality—helpful both for licensing and career advancement.
     

Choosing AARC-accredited content takes the guesswork out of course selection and ensures your time is well spent.
