How to apply
To secure your Travel Speech Language Pathologist license in Vermont, you'll be working with the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation (OPR). You will submit your application through their Online Services System. Before you start, I recommend having your ASHA card handy and initiating your license verifications, as these are the primary requirements for endorsement.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Get the Ball Rolling: Head over to the OPR Online Services portal to create an account. Once logged in, select "Apply for a New License" and choose "Speech-Language Pathologist" from the profession list.
- Upload Your Credentials: The application is straightforward for ASHA certificate holders. You will be asked to upload a copy of your current ASHA Card (CCC-SLP) directly to the portal. This serves as your primary proof of qualification.
- Verify Your Licenses: You must request official verification of licensure from your original state of licensure and your most recent state of employment. Request these directly from the respective state boards to be sent to the Vermont OPR.
- Hit Submit: Review your information, pay the application fee, and submit. If you have been licensed in another state for three or more years, look for the "Fast Track Endorsement" option within the portal, which may streamline the process further.
What You'll Need & Key Details
- Documents to Have Ready: A digital copy of your current ASHA Card (CCC-SLP) and your driver's license or government ID.
- Items to Request: Official License Verifications from your original state and most recent state of practice.
- Exams: A Jurisprudence Exam is typically not required for standard endorsement, but keep an eye on the portal instructions in case it applies to your specific "Fast Track" situation.
Initial Costs
Here is the breakdown of what you can expect to spend to get licensed in Vermont:
- Application Fee: $275
- Background Check / Fingerprinting: $50 (approximate)
- Total Estimated Initial Cost: $325
Note: Fees are subject to change by the Board, but this gives you a solid estimate to plan your budget!
Renewals
When to Renew: Vermont Speech Language Pathologist renewal happens biennially and is due by August 31 of even-numbered years.
Cost: The renewal fee is approximately $115.
Note: Watch out—Vermont typically does not offer a grace period, so ensure you renew on time to avoid late fees and a lapsed license.
CE Requirements
20 Hours required every 2nd year.
Deadline: September 30th of even-numbered years.
Live vs. Online: Great news for Travel Speech Language Pathologist CEUs: Vermont currently has no limit on distance learning. You can complete all 20 hours through online, self-study courses.
Provider Restrictions: Courses must be directly related to the scope of practice for speech-language pathology. Vermont generally accepts courses from ASHA-approved providers. General portals like MedBridge are accepted and highly recommended for travelers managing multiple licenses.
Mandatory Topics
- No specific mandatory topics—choose what interests you!
Excluded Topics: Vermont does not accept hours for business management, marketing, office administration, or personal financial planning. Basic CPR and First Aid are also typically excluded from the 20-hour clinical requirement.
New Licensee Rule: If you are a new grad or newly licensed in Vermont and your license was issued within the second year of the renewal cycle, your CE requirements are typically waived for that first renewal period.
Reporting: Vermont uses an Audit-based system. You will attest to completing your hours during the online renewal process. You must maintain your certificates of completion for at least 4 years in case of a random audit by the Office of Professional Regulation (OPR).
