How to stay compliant in Idaho
- Confirm the current requirement on the Idaho licensing board site. Rules and cycles change.
- Prioritize HSW-designated courses; they satisfy the strictest part of most states’ requirements.
- Keep completion certificates. Most boards can audit several years back.
- If you hold multiple licenses, track each state separately: the ALA CEU Tracker keeps a separate record for each state and sends monthly status reminders.
