Earn C.E. credits here on our website
Have you reviewed your Continuing Education folder and discovered you are one or two hours short? Current Society members can now earn one or more hours of CE credit by reading 3 articles of your choice (per credit), then answering the post-test questions and submitting it by mail or fax to the Society office. C.E. credit certificate will then be forwarded to you.
Non-member LCSWs or MFTs may also earn CE Credit for a $10.00 fee per credit.
Important Note: Read the regulations below to determine how best to return the Post Test. According to the California Code of Regulations, licensees may earn one-third of the required CE hours through self-study.
The difference between self-study and electronic courses is the method of the post-test. Even if the method of learning is the same (reading a book, watching a video), if the post-test is submitted to the provider through the mail, those hours will be considered self-study (this method is limited to 1/3 of the total hours required per renewal period). If the post-test is submitted electronically, the hours will be considered regular CE hours. (electronically includes fax).
