Every Continuing Education Credit Hour is $5.  

Free State Social Work offers on-line continuing education for social workers, counselors, and therapists using carefully selected academic journals, government reports, and other professional resources.  Academic articles are chosen for their ability to enhance professional practice, values, skills, and knowledge.  They cover a range of subjects including issues of aging, health, children and families, addictions, ethics, and mental health.  Our goal is to provide convenient access to quality continuing education at an affordable price.

We are approved by the Association of Social Work Boards and the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board as a provider of social work continuing education.  We are also approved by the National Board for Certified Counselors as a provider of counseling continuing education. Our approvals information page has state-specific links for Social Workers, Counselors, and Marriage and Family Therapists.

To obtain your credits, you will be able to choose from a selection of on-line articles related to your field, read the article on-line, and pass a post-test by answering at least 75% of the test questions correctly.  You can read the entire article and preview the quiz before you decide to register for the course.  We estimate that each credit hour will require one hour of reading.  If you do not pass the test, you can review the reading material and take the test again- we currently do not limit how many times you can retake a test.

Our process is simple.  Read an article on-line, complete a post-test, and print your certificate.
