Yes! There are no restrictions on the number of hours Arizona social workers can complete through CE4Less – all 30 hours may be earned through CE4Less.

Arizona 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.  Arizona accepts our courses for CE credit.  CE4Less’ courses count as home study.
