CEUs

AHEAD in Texas is an approved provider for Social Work CEUs in Texas and would be happy to provide a certificate of attendance to anyone that would like one to submit to a certifying or licensing board to request CEUs through other organizations. We encourage you to research your licensing and certification requirements, as several organizations have changed their requirements in recent years.

Certificates of Attendance

We are happy to provide a certificate of attendance for participants to use as they wish. However, because most CEU bodies require that an evaluation be completed for CEUs to be awarded, we ask that you complete the short evaluation below before requesting a certificate of attendance.
