Do live counseling interactive webinars meet my state's continuing education requirements?
Most states now accept at least part of live webinar training hours to satisfy continuing education requirements for LPCs, LCSWs and LMFTs. Some states permit you to complete all of your continuing education hours via webinar. In short, live synchronous webinars are rapidly becoming a standard substitute for in-classroom LPC training. To be certain, check with your state licensing board.
What is a Synchronous Live Webinar?
A synchronous live webinar is a training broadcast where live interaction happens. Live webinars are often delivered on Zoom or a similar video platform so webinars are easy for the user to attend and operate even for the technically challenged. In other words participants can raise their hand and ask questions. The trainer can answer. Participants can interact with each other. Live synchronous webinars are as close to in-person classroom events as is possible.
What is asynchronous counselor training?
Examples of Asynchronous counselor training are on-demand video. You can complete the workshop at your own pace. Often asynchronous training is completed by registering for a workshop and reading the material on a webpage. In both cases, you need to achieve a passing score on a post-test. Then you are issued a certificate of completion.
Asynchronous training is NOT live and many states limit the number of continuing education hours that can be obtained through self-guided educational material. You complete these alone without guidance or educational feedback from a trainer.
Where can I find a list of counseling board continuing ed requirements?
This is a list for LPC continuing education requirements for all 50 states. They link directly to the state government websites so you can be assured of the accuracy of the information.
