California CNA CEU Requirements

You will need to renew your CNA certification every two years in California. You need to have 48 hours of continuing education (CE) to renew your certificate. The California board will allow you to take 24 CEU hours online and 24 CEU hours must be "face to face", in a live classroom setting. However, to be eligible for renewal, you must complete at least 12 hours of continuing education courses per year. Please check with your certification board to verify you are compliant with their requirements.
