Budget $50 to get started on a 2-year cycle. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in Georgia, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

Georgia evaluates out-of-state credentials case-by-case rather than through a published reciprocity list.
