Michigan Social Worker CE Requirements and Courses Requirements
How many CEs does Michigan require?
Michigan social workers (LMSW and LBSW) are required to complete 45 hours of approved continuing education every 3 years.
Can I take my CEs from CE4Less?
Yes! Michigan social workers (LMSW and LBSW) can complete up to 22.5 hours of the total CE requirement during their 3-year licensing period through home-study courses.
Michigan accepts courses from any provider approved by the Association of Social Worker Boards (“ASWB”). CE4Less.com, provider #1115, is approved to offer social work continuing education by the ASWB as an Approved Continuing Education (“ACE”) provider. See our Accreditations page for additional details.
Michigan accepts our courses for CE credit. CE4Less’ courses count as home study.

What else do I need to know?
Michigan social work licenses (LMSW and LBSW) must be renewed every three years by April 30.
Each renewal cycle, all Michigan social workers must complete:
- 5 hours in Ethics (CE4Less offers a number of ethics courses, including Ethics & Boundary Issues and Ethics & Telemental Health that may be used to satisfy this requirement)
- 2 hours in Pain & Pain Symptom Management
- 2 hours in Identifying Victims of Human Trafficking
Additionally, beginning in June 2022, in addition to the 45 hours of CE required for renewal, all Michigan social workers must complete 1 hour of implicit bias training each year (3 total during each renewal period). Michigan requires that this training be completed through a synchronous/interactive or asynchronous teleconference or webinar. Unfortunately, CE4Less does not yet offer a course that satisfies this requirement.
