Renewal Requirements:

3. Meet CEU requirement for level

**Yearly Renewal and CEU requirements vary depending on level of credentials.

To qualify, the chaplain must not have had any complaints lodged against them in the past year nor a change in their church affiliation. If there is a change in either area in the past twelve months a review is required prior to renewal.

CEU (Continuing Educational Units) Requirements by Levels per year -

  • Sponsor Level - No CEUs required
  • Entrance Level - 5 CEUs required on file 
  • Intermediate Level - 8 CEUs required on file
  • Professional Level - 10 CEUs required on file
  • Senior/Trainer Level - 10 CEUs required on file
  • Division Staff Level -10 CEUs required on file


*CEUs must be field related -

A CEU unit is ten contact hours of participation in an organized educational experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. For example: 10 training hours usually equals 1.0 CEU but each unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) equals 2 CEUs. Credit will be given to online CEUs.

OCA will accept any field related training taught by credible trainers. -----
