After CE: What Happens Next
Just completed your Lieb School Continuing Education course? Congrats! Here's what happens next — and what you need to do to keep your license active with the New York Department of State (DOS).
✔️ We Handle the Reporting
Once you pass your course, we automatically report your completion to the New York DOS using your license number. If you received your completion email from us, your credits have been submitted. There’s no need to contact us for confirmation.
🗓 Your Next Step: Renew Your License
After you complete your 22.5 hours of continuing education, you must log into your eAccessNY account to renew your license. Lieb School does not renew your license for you. While we report your course completions to the DOS, it’s your job to log in and complete the renewal process.
Not sure if you're done? Here's how to check:
- Log into your Lieb School account
- Click on Completed Classes. If all your classes are listed there and you purchased one of our 22.5 CE packages, you’re done and ready to renew.
- If any classes are under Current Classes, you must finish those first. You are not eligible to renew until all classes are complete and total 22.5 credits.
Once your CE is complete, visit eAccessNY to renew your license. Log in, click Renew License, and certify that your CE is finished.
If you’d like, you can download your certificates from your Lieb School Completed Classes tab. You do not need to submit them to the DOS unless you are audited.
