However, participants should review each listing and check with their state licensing boards for verification.
Participants must be present for entirety of workshop in order to receive CE credits and full completion of the course. Participants must also complete an exam and evaluation for most online trainings after the workshop in order to receive the CE credits and full completion of the course.
You do not need prior play therapy experience to attend most trainings; however, please check each training listing to identify prerequisite knowledge.
