It is NCEA’s position that all states that regulate esthetician licensees should mandate a minimum of 12 hours of
Continuing Education credits (CEUs)–before an esthetician can renew their license.
Action
Promulgate rules or regulations that require a minimum of 12 continuing education units of COA or other agency-approved skin
care education. In addition, recognize the NCEA Commission on Accreditation (COA) as a resource to facilitate and supervise
compliance of continuing education activities for your licensees.
Rationale
The NCEA position above was voted and passed prior to the launching of the NCEA Certification program. In May of 2007 when
the certification program became a reality, it was mandated that 12 continuing education units would be part of the recertification
process. In the 5-year NCEA Certification plan, the Commission on Accreditation would be created to assist the recertifying of
candidates as well as assist state boards with the process as well prior to relicensure.
