Important Information
Social workers in Connecticut need to complete a total of 15 hours of continuing education each year, one hour of which is in Cultural competency, and the rest can be general CE of your choosing. A few additional topics apply only in certain situations — see the asterisked items above.
Your renewal period runs one year and ends on the last day of your birth month — not your birthday itself. Complete all required hours before that date.
