Licensed professional clinical counselors are required to complete not less than how many hours of approved continuing education every two years?

Prepare for the LPCC Law and Ethics Test 2. Use flashcards and multiple-choice questions with explanations. Enhance your understanding of ethics and legal standards for effective counseling practice.

Ongoing professional development is the concept being tested. Licensure renewal for LPCCs is tied to completing approved continuing education, and the standard minimum is not less than 36 hours within each two-year renewal period. This amount helps ensure counselors stay current with evolving practices, ethics, and professional standards. Some boards may specify that part of those hours address ethics or other topics, but the overall requirement is 36 hours.
