Continuing education must be documented with certificates and submitted through CE Broker, and all CE activities must be obtained via in-person attendance, presentations, or approved online/correspondence courses. Up to 9 hours of graduate course work and supervision credit may count toward renewal, with additional ethics exam and supervisor training credits available.
