Based upon the published requirements of the Ohio Board, our distance learning courses meet all requirements for out-of-state internet-based POST-APPROVAL for counselors, marriage and family therapists, and social workers.

However, to get credit, you need to submit a short, simple Post-Approval Form to your board, for your particular license:

• The form for CE post-approval for counselors is found here.
• The form for CE post-approval for social workers is found here.
• The form for MFT CE Post-approval is found here.

You must submit these forms to your Ohio Board within 90 days of completion of the course.

You must complete the required post approval form and submit documentation showing completion of the program and information on the program . . . It will take approximately 30 days to receive a response on a post program approval."
