Non Nationally Registered providers must also have a National Registry account and fulfill all associated education and renewal requirements. The only distinction for SLOs is that they do not receive a formal National Registry certification; however, they are not exempt from completing National Registry requirements.
All continuing education must be documented and entered into the Transcript section of your National Registry account.
