Addiction Counselor CE’s distant learning courses are available for continuing education credit for MFT’s, LCSW’s, LPC’s, as set forth by the Washington Department of Health.
During the COVID-19 State of Emergency the department waived continuing education rule requirements that limited distance learning. They are currently conducting rulemaking to permanently eliminate these requirements. It is anticipated this rule-making process will be complete by January 2024. However, the department will continue to allow continuing education to be completed via online distance learning while this rule-making process is ongoing.
