Counseling Today

Each month, JournaLearning International® publishes a quiz offering C.E. Credits for reading four feature articles in the monthly newspaper of the American Counseling Association (ACA), the world's largest association of professional counselors.

Do you have a hard time earning your yearly 20 hours of Continuing Education? Tired of last minute frantic searches for interesting workshops before your renewal deadline? Have a hard time getting to them? Paying too much? Now there's a simple solution… Read the selected articles in each issue of CounselingToday.® Complete the quiz. Then send it to us with $15 - and you're done! Answer 7 questions correctly, and we'll send you your certificate of completion. If you're already reading CounselingToday,® the additional time could be as little as 10 minutes per month.

Think of it: Every issue you could be eligible for one hour of credit through this program which is approved by the National Board for Certified Counselors and the Florida Board of Mental Health Counseling. That means you may be able to earn up to 12 credits per year and up to 60 credits in 5 years. That's potentially more than half the total requirements you currently need to recertify as an NCC-for a remarkably low price! And NBCC approved home-study credits are often acceptable to State Licensing Boards. Check your local rules.

Please allow 3-6 weeks for notification of your results and, if you pass, your letter of completion. You may want to keep a copy of the quiz as a record for your certifying agency. JournaLearning International® is approved by the National Board for Certified Counselors to offer continuing education for National Certified Counselors and adheres to NBCC Continuing Education Guidelines. This home-study program has been approved by the NBCC for 1 hour of continuing education credit for NCC's subject to continued approval by NBCC. NBCC provider #5635. Provider Number BAP 274, Expires 03/31/07 (continuing education appropriate for Mental Health Counselors).

Although we collaborate with the ACA, JournaLearning International® is a separate entity and retains sole responsibility for this home-study program.

Program learning objective is to increase awareness of current issues and trends in counseling.
