Which of the following is not acceptable for continuing education credits?

• A. Ethics Seminars
• B. CPR Classes
• C. Self-paced Online Tutorials
• D. Group Counseling Sessions

Answer: (B)

Continuing education credits are earned for activities that directly enhance a clinician’s skills and knowledge used in addiction counseling, such as ethics, therapeutic techniques, assessment, and treatment planning. CPR classes focus on emergency medical response rather than ongoing professional development in counseling practice, so they’re generally not accepted as CE credits for licensure purposes. In contrast, ethics seminars and self-paced online tutorials are common CE options because they develop professional judgment and clinical knowledge. Group counseling sessions can count if they include a formal educational component or supervised practice recognized by the CE sponsor.
