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 endorse the ACE program 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.<\/p>\n Different jurisdictions have different definitions. \u00a0For some jurisdictions, the term CEU consists of ten credit hours. \u00a0At Free State Social Work, we offer continuing education credit hours and we estimate that each credit hour will require one hour of reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome Illinois Social Workers!
