Maryland Social Work CE Requirements
How many hours of CE credit does Maryland require for social workers?
Maryland social workers are required to complete either 30 (LBSW) or 40 (LCSW licenses) hours of approved continuing education every 2 years.
Can I take my CE from CE4Less?
Yes! Maryland LCSWs (and LCSW-Cs)Â can complete up to 20 hours of the total CE requirement during their 2-year licensing period through home-study courses.
Maryland LBSWs can complete up to 15 hours through home-study courses for each renewal.
Maryland 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. Maryland accepts our courses for CE credit. CE4Less’ courses count for Category II credit.
Our Unlimited Plan is a great option for social workers who want to satisfy their home study-eligible continuing education requirements for one low price! Check out our options here.
What else do I need to know?
Maryland social work licenses must be renewed by October 31st of the year in which they expire.
All Maryland social workers (LCSW, LCSW-C, and LBSW) must complete at least 3 hours in ethics education, including boundary issues, during each 2-year licensing period. CE4Less offers a number of ethics courses that may be used to satisfy this requirement, including our Ethics & Boundary Issues course. A full listing of our available ethics courses is available here.
Maryland social workers in a supervisory role must complete 3 hours in supervision for each renewal period. CE4Less offers a number of courses on the topic – see our full listing here.
