What SLPs and audiologists miss in Georgia
- Endorsement depends on which state issued the license: Georgia keeps approved and disapproved state lists.
- Every license expires March 31 of odd-numbered years, so a new license may run well under two years.
- A CCC more than two years old needs 20 recent CE hours for licensure by certification.
Can I practice in Georgia on an ASLP Compact privilege?
Georgia has enacted the ASLP Compact but is not issuing privileges yet. Until it does, practicing here takes a Georgia license, and a Georgia license does not yet give you a privilege anywhere else.
- Enacted, not issuing yet
Can an SLP or audiologist licensed elsewhere get a Georgia license by endorsement?
Endorsement is open only to applicants licensed in a state on the board's approved list; a state on the disapproved list rules it out. SLPs with a current CCC can instead apply by certification, adding 20 CE hours if the CCC is more than two years old. Every applicant is fingerprinted.
