How to stay compliant in Iowa
  • Confirm the current requirement on the Iowa 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 does this automatically and sends monthly status reminders.
