Program Details

Temple University School of Social Work Continuing Education Program, #1557, is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved as ACE providers. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. Temple University School of Social Work Continuing Education Program maintains responsibility for this course. ACE provider approval period: 02/27/2020 - 02/27/2023.


Temple University School of Social Work has been designated as a pre-approved provider of professional continuing education for social workers by the Pennsylvania State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Professional Counselors.

Currently, all continuing education courses are delivered live via Zoom. Electronic certificates denoting continuing education clock hours are issued to individuals who actively participate in the entire course (from start to finish) and who complete a course evaluation form at the conclusion of the course. If you have any questions, please contact us at sswce@temple.edu for the quickest response or call during regular business hours at 215-204-1997 during regular business hours.
