Every certificate, entered by you, through the Licensee Login portal. If you've been assuming your courses "count" automatically — check your portal today.
What you need from each course
Your certificate shows three things ADRE requires:
- Course Number
- Course Start Date
- Course End Date
Any ADRE-approved school must give you this certificate when you pass (Steady Education issues yours instantly on completion).
Step-by-step
- Go to the ADRE Licensee Login at ptl.az.gov/dre and sign in.
- Open the continuing education section of your license record.
- Enter each course: course number, start date, end date, exactly as printed on the certificate.
- Keep the certificate file — ADRE can audit, and you're responsible for proof.
- Check your category progress on the same screen. Green across every category = ready to renew.
You can submit anytime during your two-year renewal period — submit each course as you finish it rather than batching 8 entries the night before your deadline.
The two errors everyone hits
"Course taken outside allowable date range" — either the course predates the start of your current two-year window, or your school printed the wrong course number and needs to issue a corrected certificate.
"I have 24+ hours, why can't I renew?" — total hours don't matter if a mandatory category is missing. Surplus hours flow to elective; they never fill a different mandatory category. The portal shows exactly which category is short.
