Understand Your New York Training Requirements
New York requires certain licensed professionals and mandated reporters to complete specialized training. Requirements may depend on your profession, license type, prescribing authority, education, practice setting, and registration period.

View Prescriber Education Requirements →Mandated Training Is Not Always the Same as Continuing Education
New York distinguishes between general continuing education required to renew certain professional licenses and mandated training required by a specific law.
A professional may have:
- A general continuing education requirement.
- One or more mandated training requirements.
- An initial licensure requirement.
- A recurring registration requirement.
- Requirements imposed by an employer or credentialing organization.
Completing one requirement does not necessarily satisfy another. Always confirm that a program is accepted for your profession and for the particular requirement you need to meet.
