Attendance Policy

Participants should plan on arriving prior to the start of the training to allow time for sign-in, registration, and training introductions. Full participation is required, no partial credit is given for partial attendance. Late arrivals or early departures will not be granted a certificate of completion. 

Self-Study Trainings

Our online training catalog details a wide range of self-study courses that can be taken at your pace.

The NYS Education Department states: "Self-study may comprise no more than twelve hours of continuing education in any three-year registration period, or one-third of the hours for a registration period other than three years."
 
Our self-study catalog features over 100 courses in topic areas including Anxiety, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, Depression, Mood Disorders, Trauma and PTSD.
 
Advantages to our self-study courses include:
  • Study on your schedule: Self-study Digital Seminar online courses can effectively deliver content in a convenient manner for your schedule. Courses are available in audio or video formats and your course access never expires.
  • Learn from the best: Courses are presented by a wide selection of state, national and international experts. Self-study courses do not include contact with the instructor.
  • CEs/Contact Hours: Most courses have CEs (contact hours), including those for New York licensed LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, LCATs and LMFTs. Only a third of the previously listed licensed professions' CEs are permitted to be self-study. CEs listed will print out on your certificate of completion. Check the credit tab before you purchase a course to ensure it offers the CEs you need.
