QBA renewal checklist: CE, ethics and first renewal

A practical QABA renewal checklist for a QBA, with the board’s current published requirements.

Use this checklist to prepare questions and documents for your renewal. Your credentialing board decides eligibility; check your own record and the latest rules before applying.

Your checklist

  1. QABA renewals run on a two-year cycle, with four quarterly deadlines. Check the deadline assigned to your account; the board says renewal can be submitted up to 60 days early.

  2. QABA lists 32 CEUs for a QBA at the two-year renewal deadline and a minimum of 3 hours of ethics. Check with QABA how its requirements apply to your own record.

  3. QABA also lists 2 hours in trauma-informed care and 2 hours in comorbidities or multiple diagnosis for a QBA’s first renewal. Check the board’s current instructions for your cycle.

  4. Review each certificate for the presenter’s printed name and signature, check the board’s provider and activity rules, and gather your QBA background self-attestation. Complete the application and check the current fee in your QABA account.
