Note that SLPs with their national Certificate of Clinical Competence can utilize their CCCs as the basis to acquire the CA SLP license. Additionally CA now issues a "temporary license" for those completing their national CFY - Clinical Fellowship Year (referred to under CA licensing as Required Professional Experience - RPE).

HEARING AID DISPENSING: HADEC  

Audiologists under the audiology license may evaluate and fit a hearing aid. If an audiologist also sells the hearing aid, the audiologists will be required to obtain a hearing aid dispenser's license.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (Mandatory  Continuing Education)
Both the national and state professional associations require members to maintain currency and competency in their members' professional practice. State licensing requires mandatory continuing education every two years. School personnel credentialed after 1995, must satisfy mandatory professional development to renew their credentials every five years. Hearing Aid Dispensers' licensing also has mandatory continuing education requirements. Attendance at the annual CSHA State Conference can satisfy these obligations.
