Continuing education: Court reporters

Requirements

When you renew your court reporter certification, you must verify you have completed 5 continuing education units (CEU) since you last renewed your license.

• 1 CEU = 60 minutes of education in an approved program.
• Continuing education units can't be more than 1 year old.
• You can't carry over excess CEUs from a previous year.

Approved programs

To meet your continuing education requirements you can only use approved programs directly related to your development as a court reporter. They're listed in WAC 308-14-100 (2): License renewal - Continuing education - Penalties.
