Additional Information from the BBS1
Overall Hours: All licensees are required to complete the MINIMUM of 18 hours of CE for their first renewal. LEPs may be required to complete more hours due to their particular requirements. All subsequent renewals have a requirement of 36 hours.
Dual Licensure: If you have a LMFT or LCSW license in addition to your LEP or LPCC license, you may apply CE hours to both licenses if the course meets all CE requirements and the subject matter relates to both scopes of practice.
Courses Taught: You may claim credit for teaching a course. You will receive the same amount of hours as a course attendee would receive. However, you can only claim credit for teaching a course one time during a single renewal period. (1 Semester Unit = 15 CE hours, 1 Quarter Unit = 10 CE hours)
Supervisors: Supervisors of Associates and Marriage and Family Therapist Trainees may apply their supervisor course training hours to their CE requirement as long as the training has been taken from an acceptable CE provider.
2022 Update: First-Time supervisors must complete a total of 15 hours of supervision training.
