CEU Approval Process


The NASW–Idaho Chapter reviews and approves continuing education (CEU) programs that may be used toward social work license renewal in Idaho. This page provides a quick overview of the process and how to apply. 

For full requirements, policies, and detailed guidelines, please review the Full CEU Approval Guide.

Who Can Apply
    • Organizations eligible to apply for CEU approval include:
      • Accredited schools of social work
      • Social service agencies
      • Professional organizations
      • Social work departments
      • Teaching hospitals and mental health centers
      • Other qualified training providers
What You Need to Know
    • The Idaho Board of Social Work Examiners recently reduced Idaho standards for Continuing Education requirements and there are currently no detailed standards related to minimum instructor qualifications or learning objectives. The primary standard is that the CE be germane to the practice of social work. Our services are optional, but we hope will elevate your course to show your commitment to higher standards of education.
    • Before applying, please ensure that your program:
      • Has clearly stated learning objectives
