Professional Training Opportunities
 
 
 
Participants who desire Continuing Education Credits (CEC) will obtain a continuing education certificate for the number of credits specified for each workshop, training, or distance-learning course. Ms. Dean is an approved provider for NBCC continuing education credits for both live programs and traditional home-study courses (#6302). Pennsylvania State Board of Social Workers, Marriage & Family Therapists and Professional Counselors as well as the Art Therapy Credentials Board will recognize and accept continuing education programs that are sponsored by providers approved by the NBCC. Workshops facilitated by an NBCC approved provider are accepted by the ATCB. Check with your state or credentialing body to confirm credits are applicable to your specific continuing education requirement.
