Most therapists, counselors, and social workers don’t struggle with learning.
The frustration usually comes from somewhere else — finding CE that actually respects your time, fits around a real clinical schedule, and teaches something you can carry back into session.
Too many CE courses feel like they were designed to check a box, not to sharpen clinical thinking.
That’s the problem this platform was built to solve.
Every course here is created by licensed clinicians, approved by national credentialing bodies, and structured to be immediately useful — whether you’re an LPC renewing for the first time, an LCSW building a specialty, or an LMFT deepening your work with couples and families.
No fluff. No friction. Just relevant clinical training you can complete at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which professions do your CE courses cover?
Our courses are approved for Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Our courses are also accepted for Licensed Psychologists in select states. Visit your specific profession page for details on how our courses meet your requirements.
Are these courses accepted in my state?
In almost all cases for licensed counselors, licensed social workers, and licensed marriage and family therapists, yes. Our NBCC and ASWB approvals cover most state licensing board requirements for these professions across all 50 states. Each profession page includes a state lookup tool for your specific requirements.
Can I use the same courses for different license types?
Yes. If you hold multiple licenses (for example, both an LPC and an LCSW), many of our courses count toward CE requirements for both.
Do I need a membership to take courses?
No. You can purchase individual courses. Membership is optional but usually saves money if you need multiple CE hours.
How long do I have to complete a course?
There’s no deadline. All individual course purchases come with lifetime access and no time limits, allowing you to learn entirely at your own pace.
When do I receive my completion certificate?
Immediately after completing the course lesson, quiz, and evaluation. For live webinars, you’ll receive your certificate immediately after attendance verification and course evaluation.
Most CE platforms will help you meet your requirements. The difference is whether the time you spend actually improves your clinical work — or just checks a box.
