On August 5, 2011, the Georgia Composite Board ammended Rule 135-09-.01. It is now in effect and all licensees should be aware of the changes. The primary change is with regard to the number of online CE hours permitted for licensure renewal. The limit is 10 hours per cycle and this applies to all credit obtained after September 30, 2011. Furthermore, correspondence courses are no longer acceptable as core credit. Official notification of this rule change is on the Composite Board's website.
NASW members are invited to contact the chapter office staff for clarification. Please email your questions or call toll free: 1-877-234-0567.
