Free CE, verified

Genuinely free hours. No catch, or the catch is named.

Most "free CE" is a marketing funnel. These are the sources where the certificate is real. Expect roughly 5 to 15 truly free hours per renewal cycle from this list, and see the veterans and CPT section below for the largest block of free hours on this page.

"Free CE" offers that are not free CE

KNOW BEFORE YOU CLICK

PESI's free live summits and seminars do not include CE, the certificate is a paid upgrade (the Oct 21 Dan Siegel event, for example, is free to attend and offers up to 3 CE through a credit package whose price the page does not show).

Veterans, trauma, and CPT

The clinicians who serve veterans should not have to pay to learn how.

Cognitive Processing Therapy is endorsed by the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense as a first line PTSD treatment. The federal government gives away real CPT hours for free, and almost nobody knows. Verified on provider pages October 20, 2026.

Becoming an official CPT provider

Free courses teach you CPT. They do not make you a rostered CPT provider. The treatment developers publish the actual requirements (now laid out as seven steps on their page, condensed here), and the order matters. Provider status renews on a 3-year cycle. Start free, then decide if the roster is worth the spend.

NBCC allows up to 20 unused hours to move into the next cycle.

Your log lives in this browser and nowhere else. There is no account and nothing is uploaded, which also means clearing your browser data erases it. Use Back up now and then, and keep your actual certificates: NBCC requires you to hold them for five years past the end of the cycle and runs random audits. The Missouri LPC figures come from section 337.510.5 RSMo, which requires two hours of suicide assessment, referral, treatment and management training within no more than forty hours biennially, and from 20 CSR 2095-1.064, which sets the forty hours, requires at least twenty of them to be formal, and caps self study at twenty. Note that Missouri defines a CE hour as fifty minutes while NBCC defines it as sixty, so the same course can be worth slightly different amounts to each. The NCC figures follow NBCC's certification maintenance policy dated August 25, 2021, which sets 100 hours per five year cycle and caps several activity types but does not itself require a set number of ethics hours. Your board's word is final.

Use 0 for a one time deadline.
Your credential deadlines, soonest first
Credential Next due Status Actions
No deadlines tracked yet. Start with your CAQH attestation, because it comes due every 120 days and a stale one can quietly stall your standing with the insurance panels that rely on it until the claims stop paying.

Your deadlines live in this browser, just like your CE log, and nothing about your clients is ever asked for. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn on email reminders, which saves only your email address and each deadline's name and date, and turning them off deletes that copy. Reminders run through your own calendar, so download the calendar file after you add or finish a deadline and your phone will alert you thirty, fourteen, seven and one day ahead. For recredentialing, the failure that costs clinicians the most is a document the payer never received, so mark a document confirmed only after the payer tells you it arrived. Payers, CAQH and your board each set their own dates, and their word is final.

Renewal questions, answered from the source

How many continuing education hours does a Missouri LPC need to renew?
Forty hours every two years. Missouri rule 20 CSR 2095-1.064 requires forty hours before the license expiration date, with at least twenty of them formal continuing education and no more than twenty self study, and section 337.510.5 RSMo requires that two of those hours be suicide assessment, referral, treatment and management training.
How many CE hours does a Missouri LCSW need?
The State Committee for Social Workers page stated thirty hours per renewal cycle, including three ethics hours and two suicide prevention hours, when CE You last checked it on September 7, 2026. That page was still worded for 2025 renewals, so confirm which cycle governs your renewal date on the board page itself.
How many CE hours does NBCC require to keep the NCC?
One hundred hours per five year certification maintenance cycle, under the NCC Program Certification Maintenance Policy dated August 25, 2021. Up to twenty hours completed beyond the hundred can carry into the next cycle, records must be kept for five years past the end of the cycle, and NBCC runs random audits on a monthly basis.
Does the NCC require a set number of ethics hours?
No. The NBCC maintenance policy sets no ethics CE hour count. Its Code of Ethics requirement in section C.2 is a conduct obligation, not a number of hours. State boards are separate and may require ethics hours of their own, as Missouri does for LCSWs.
Is a CE hour fifty minutes or sixty?
It depends on who is counting. Missouri defines a continuing education hour as fifty minutes of instruction or study in 20 CSR 2095-1.064(2), while NBCC counts sixty minutes as one CE credit hour. Providers print the hours on the certificate, and the board or certifying body has the final word.
Does CE You store my CE log?
Only in your own browser. There is no account and nothing is uploaded, which also means clearing your browser data erases the log, so use the Back up button now and then and keep your actual certificates.
How often do I have to re-attest my CAQH profile?
CAQH ProView asks providers to review and re-attest their profile every 120 days, and payers that pull credentialing data from it can treat a profile with a lapsed attestation as incomplete. Add your last attestation date to the credential deadlines above, add it to your calendar, and mark it done after you re-attest so the next 120 day deadline is set for you.
Does CE You send email reminders for credential deadlines?
Not yet. Reminders come through your own calendar, because the calendar file carries alerts thirty, fourteen, seven and one day before each deadline, and nothing about you has to leave your browser for that to work. Download the file again after you mark a deadline done so the reminder moves to the new date.
