CE Provider Registration Requirements

Provider Approved by the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board - Social Workers

Thank you for your interest in our continuing education pre-approved provider status.

The Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board has established a pre-approval continuing education provider status. There are two options for this status. One is for approved provider status, the other is a single-program provider status. This is the application for the Approved Provider status.

Please note: The pre-approval provider/single program status is optional. The Board has re-established this process at the request of licensees. However, it does not mean that pre-approved credit is all that will be granted. Licensees are able to receive continuing education credit outside of pre-approved courses, but the pre-approved status allows for peace of mind that completed CEUs will be accepted.

If you are approved for the general provider status, you will receive a provider number and the attendees at your workshops are guaranteed acceptance of the ceu's they submit for having attended.
