Continuing Education (CE)

Continuing Education must meet the following conditions:

• 6 hours required annually

• CPR and first aid training cannot count toward the six hour requirement for continuing education.  

• It shall include training on additional curriculum modules and relevant topics. It is not the intent of continuing education to repeat the same topics year after year. 

•  It can be offered in many forms, including in-service, video/DVD, written materials, attendant as a class or conference, etc. 

•  For DCWs providing care to family members only, the continuing education may be specific to the member. 

Below are examples of Continuing Education (CE) activities, though this list is not exhaustive. Any activity related to caring for individuals with developmental disabilities counts toward your CE hours. If you’d like to confirm whether an activity qualifies, please email us.
