Does the North Carolina Marriage and Family Therapy Licensure Board accept courses from NBCC-approved continuing education providers?

The North Carolina MFT Licensure Board does not pre-approve courses.   It is the responsibility of the licensee to use their professional judgment as to the content meeting the requirements for MFT therapeutic or ethics coursework.

Continuing education units that by title and content deal with marriage and family therapy practice and therapeutic issues, ethics, and supervision of marriage and family therapy shall be approved by the Board.

At least three of the 20 hours must be MFT ethics coursework.

Both ‘live’ and online courses are accepted.

Please remember that we have done our best to research your state’s licensing guidelines. Licensing regulations can change frequently including guidelines about how many hours you can earn on-line. Most jurisdictions require a certain number of hours in ethics and other areas of practice. The final authority for approving any continuing education activity rests with your state board. Even those states that accept ASWB and NBCC approved programs may have exceptions in terms of the courses that they will accept. It is ultimately your responsibility to understand the licensing regulations in your state.

Does Free State Social Work offer North Carolina MFT CEUs?  Trainings? Contact Hours?  Credit Hours?

Different jurisdictions have different definitions.  For some jurisdictions, the term CEU consists of ten credit hours.  At Free State Social Work, we offer continuing education credit hours and we estimate that each credit hour will require one hour of reading.
