The Four-Step Renewal Process
Registrants will be able to renew their practice permit online beginning January 1, 2026.
There are four steps of practice permit renewal:
- Profile Update
- Wrap Up Old CCP (2025/2026)
- Initiate New CCP (2026/2027)
- Declarations and Payment
Renewal Fees
- Early Bird Renewal– starts January 1- February 14, 2026
- Full Renewal– starts February 15-February 28, 2026.
- If a registrant does not renew before March 1, 2026, their practice permit will automatically be cancelled.
Professional Liability Insurance
Registrants must maintain a minimum of $5 million in current professional liability insurance (PLI). ACOT conducts random checks to ensure registrants’ PLI is active for the registration period. Review your insurance certificate and renew with your broker if it expires in the upcoming months.

Continuing Competence Program Manual
The Continuing Competence Program Manual (CCPM) aligns with the requirements set out in Part 3 Continuing Competence and Practice Visits of the Health Professions Act (HPA). The CCPM, as a supplemental policy document to ACOT’s Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, consolidates the requirements of ACOT’s Continuing Competence Program including mandatory participation in Member Selected and College Selected activities.
