New Jersey Social Work Courses

New Jersey’s CE requirements for social workers vary based on the license held:

• LCSWs are required to complete 40 hours of approved continuing education every 2 years
• LSWs are required to complete 30 hours of approved continuing education every 2 years
• CSWs are required to complete 20 hours of approved continuing education every 2 years

Unfortunately, New Jersey requires that each course taken for CE credit be individually approved.  While CE4Less as a whole is approved to provide social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (“ASWB”), an authorized approval entity of the New Jersey Board of Social Work Examiners, CE4Less’ courses have not been individually approved to provide credit in New Jersey specifically.

CE4Less’ ASWB, APA, NBCC, and NAADAC approvals (see our Accreditations page for further detail) may allow you to receive CE credit for our courses if you are concurrently licensed in another state.

Please contact the New Jersey State Board of Social Work Examiners at 973-504-6495 for further information. And if you disagree with New Jersey’s unique restrictions on education, let them know! We strive to deliver on our promise of quality, convenience, and affordability, and we would love to be able to serve New Jersey social workers as we have served over 500,000 social workers, psychologists, counselors, MFTs, and addiction specialists in almost every state in the nation!
