While nearly every jurisdiction that issues social work licenses requires continuing education courses for renewal, these continuing education requirements vary from one jurisdiction to another. The Association of Social Work Boards' Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program has been designed to identify and recognize high-quality continuing education providers that can deliver quality programs in many topics. We are proud to be recognized as a quality educational provider for social workers.

Certificates of Attendance USPRA will issue a certificate of attendance to anyone who returns a stamped tracker form.
The attendee is responsible for accurately tracking and submitting validated attendance sheets to ensure that CEs accurately represent the keynotes, workshops, and institutes attended. One hour in attendance equals one CE. The CE Tracker Form is not an official CE Certificate. Upon turning in your tracker form prior to leaving the conference, we will issue your CE certificate.
