Please see below for current Continuing Education approval information categorized by license type and presentation format. We will keep this page updated with any new information as it is announced by the various licensing boards.

What is the difference between live and on-demand CEs?

Live "Synchronous" Continuing Education: Core, Ethics or Related CE hours earned through live "synchronous" webinars that occur in real time where students and instructor(s) are located on the same Zoom platform at the same time and are able to interact.

On-Demand "Asynchronous" Continuing Education: Core, Ethics, or Related CE hours are obtained by watching pre-recorded video webinars and reviewing the included relevant handouts. The videos may be watched at your leisure with the ability to rewind, pause, etc. Students are required to pass a quiz on the material presented. Please check with your state, province, or country to determine how many asynchronous hours you are allowed per renewal period. For example, some states allow ethics hours to be obtained on-demand (“asynchronous”), while others do not. For Georgia clinicians, please see below.

What is the difference between Core, Ethics, and Related CEs?

Core Continuing Education (CE) Hours: Core hours are CE hours acquired in activities in the specialty in which the license is held, and must reflect content pertaining to the license type (e.g. Psychologists, Counselors, Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapists). Core CEs may require approval for the CE activity by an association or licensing board that is specifically tailored to your license type, but this is not always the case. If so, to qualify for Psychology Core Hours, for example, a workshop must be approved to offer Core CE hours by a state psychology association or the American Psychological Association. However, in states like California, Social Workers and MFTs may take core hours approved by APA or NBCC. Please check your state requirements to be sure.

Ethics Continuing Education (CE) Hours: Ethics CE hours must be predominantly focused on ethical codes and guidelines as they apply to particular topic areas and follow the above approval requirements.Related Continuing Education (CE) Hours: Related CE hours are acquired in activities in a specialty other than the one in which the license is held. For example, if a course has approval for psychologists and counselors but not Social Workers or MFTs, that course would fall under “related hours” for Social Workers and MFTs. Most states allow a certain number of related hours, but please check your state to be certain if necessary.
