Online CE Course Offerings
Indiana Online CE Requirements: Any self-study continuing education (CE) hours to be used for Indiana license renewal requirements must include a post-course examination. All of our online courses provide a post-course exam, with results provided immediately after the exam is completed. Under Indiana law, self-study includes live streamed (Zoom) and static (PowerPoint) online CE courses. To be qualified, CE must be sponsored by an approved organization, such as IOA, COPE, a university, or the program must be specifically approved by the Indiana Optometry Board (IOB). The rules of the Indiana Optometry Board allow for a maximum of ten hours of self-study continuing education to be claimed during any two-year license renewal period.
Please note: Online courses are not submitted for COPE approval.
