Alabama permits up to 6 of the 18 hours — one-third — through distance-based formats each year. The useful wrinkle most doctors miss: Alabama Law & Rules hours may be completed online in addition to that cap. A licensee can therefore complete 6 general hours plus the 2 law hours online (4 at first renewal), with the balance in live, in-person programs.

Practical plan: lock your law hours and your 6 online hours early in the cycle, then schedule the remaining live hours across the year rather than hunting for in-person seminars in September.

Alabama approves continuing education at the course level through the Alabama State Board of Chiropractic Examiners. A provider's national recognition — including PACE — does not by itself make a course count in Alabama. Before purchasing any course from any provider, confirm its current listing in the ASBCE Seminar Search.

Licensees submit certificates of completion per Board instructions at renewal or on audit. Keep every certificate — course title, hours, date, sponsor — for 5 years. CCEDseminars issues an instant certificate on completion with a permanent copy in your account dashboard, so an audit request is a same-day pull rather than a records hunt.

18 hours every CE year, which runs October 1 through September 30. The full 18 — including the 2-hour Alabama Law & Rules block — must be complete by September 30, and excess hours do not carry into the next year.

Up to 6 of the 18 hours may be distance-based each year — and the Alabama Law & Rules hours may be completed online in addition to that cap. In practice, that means as many as 8 hours online in a standard year (6 general + 2 law), with the remaining 10 in live, in-person formats.

Yes — 2 hours in Board-approved courses on the Alabama Chiropractic Practice Act and Board Rules every year, counted within the 18. At the first renewal after initial licensure the requirement is 4 hours, and effective August 14, 2025, first-year licensees must also attend one Board meeting, which may credit as 2 of those law hours.

Use the ASBCE Seminar Search on the Alabama Interactive portal, or contact the Board directly before purchase. Alabama approves courses individually, so verify the specific course — not just the provider — regardless of where you buy your CE.

Retain completion certificates for 5 years. Certificates should show the course title, hours, completion date, and sponsor. You submit them per Board instructions at renewal or if selected for audit — CCEDseminars certificates are issued instantly on completion and stored permanently in your account dashboard.
