  • It is important to have all of your course documentation available as you must upload the information in the Service Request application.

 

Continuing Education Requirement

The amount of continuing education (CE) that you are required to complete depends on when your license was issued during the full licensure period. If this is your first renewal, and your license was issued between:

  • April 1 and September 30 of even-numbered years, you must complete 0 CE hours
  • October 1 of odd-numbered years and March 31 of even-numbered years , you must complete 10 CE hours
  • April 1 and September 30 of an odd-numbered year, you must complete 20 CE hours
  • October 1 of even-numbered years and March 31 of odd-numbered years, you must complete 30 CE hours

Active Mental Health Professionals (LPCMHs, LCDPs, LMFTs, and LPATs) must complete 40 hours of approved CE during each full licensure renewal period between October 1 and September 30 of the previous even-numbered years (2018-2020, etc.).

Associate License holders are not required to complete CE.  For complete information on the CE requirements, see Section 12.2.2.1 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.
