Alaska Social Work CE Requirements

Alaska social workers (LBSW, LCSW, LMSW) are required to complete 45 hours of approved continuing education every 2 years.

Yes! There are no restrictions on the number of hours Alaska social workers can complete through CE4Less – all 45 hours may be earned through CE4Less.

Alaska accepts courses from any provider approved by the Association of State Social Worker Boards (“ASWB”).  CE4Less, provider #1115, is approved by the ASWB to offer social work continuing education.  Alaska accepts our courses for CE credit.  CE4Less’ courses count as home study.  Alaska social workers can earn no more than 12 home study credits per day.

Our Unlimited Plan is a great option for social workers who want to satisfy all their continuing education requirements for one low price!  Check out our options here.
