Attention: Several states and disciplines have relaxed requirements regarding live / in person Continuing Education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please check with your board to see the most current requirements.
Licensed professional counselors in Illinois (LPC, LCPC) are required to take:
- Thirty (30) hours of continuing education every 2 years.
- All clinical professional counselors are also required to complete eighteen (18) hours in clinical supervision. This is a one-time requirement.
- The limit of Fifteen (15) online CEs has been dropped for this renewal cycle. See the special covid guidelines here.
- Effective January 1, 2020, a new law took effect that requires all Illinois licensed professionals who need continuing education to renew their licenses to complete 1 hour of education related to sexual harassment prevention. Licensees can take this CE course from any CE provider or sponsor that is authorized to provide CE for any profession regulated by IDFPR. This includes businesses or entities that have active CE sponsor licenses for any profession, or that are listed as a ‘pre-approved’ sponsor for any profession.
