NASW
NCTSN Continuing Education webinars are no longer approved by the National Association of Social Workers for continuing education contact hours. Currently three courses on the Learning Center are approved by NASW for continuing education contact hours: Psychological First Aid (PFA) Online, Skills for Psychological Recovery (SPR) Online, and Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT).
At this time, all Learning Center courses for CEs are FREE. An announcement will be made if and when this information changes.
You only need one username and password to gain access to available courses in the Learning Center. The Learning Collaborative courses require an enrollment key, in cases where NCTSN restricts access to invitation only.

Whether you are a credit or non-credit seeking participant in the Speaker Series, you can view the presentations.
For Non-credit, Professional Development:
If you are not seeking credit you will encounter the presentation itself and a post-presentation survey.
For CE Credit Seekers:
In addition to the post-presentation survey you will also be required to complete a post-test with a passing grade of 80% or higher.
To earn a certificate you must score 80% or better on the post-test for the presentation. After meeting this requirement, you may choose to print your certificate from one of two places.
To Print from "My Home": https://learn.nctsn.org/my/
Click on your username located in the upper right corner to access "My Home" or go to https://learn.nctsn.org/my/. This page will show you all your enrolled courses and certificates. Choose the certificate title you wish to print, and select the print button when the window opens.

For the presentations that include a live Q & A session, a special lightbulb icon indicating the live session will be displayed in addition to a prearranged time and date you can plan to participate. You can click on “Live Q & A” under the topic to join the session. After the session is archived it will be listed as “Q & A” session.
