The following providers offer many different courses, but not all the courses are recognized by LPCA of GA for the CPCS CE requirements:

Please note:  AAMFT, SW, Addiction, and Leadership "superior at work" workshops do not count towards certification.  (must fall within the LPC Scope of Practice O.C.G.A. 43-10A)  AND Composite Board Rules for supervisors/supervision for Counselors. 

 NOTE:  Workshops from California most likely will not be accepted.  CA did not license LPCs until 2016, therefore, their trainings are by LMFTs (AAMFT)

NOTE: Any home-study/independent-study/self-study CEs are NOT acceptable for the CPCS application or recertification.

Look for workshops that are LPCA Approved workshops.
