CEs are accessible through the AACC Learning Center, Light University, and events such as national conferences, virtual trainings, and specialized intensives. Whether you’re pursuing licensure renewal or seeking to expand your professional and spiritual impact, AACC provides flexible, high-quality CE options recognized across the helping professions. 

You can earn CE credits by attending live Counseltalk webinars, completing online courses available on the AACC portal, reading the quarterly Christian Counseling Today magazine and passing the associated quizzes, or participating in approved events and workshops.
