Ohio Social Workers CE Requirements, Accreditations & Approvals
Ohio Social Workers
As a Jointly Accredited Organization, NetCE is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved under this program. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. NetCE maintains responsibility for this course.
For social workers only, the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage & Family Therapist Board will accept courses from any provider who is ASWB approved.
