GUIDANCE FOR REGISTRANTS

Understanding AB 2473

Your requirements depend on when you registered and how much approved education you have completed. Foundational counselor education and continuing education serve different purposes.

80 hours

New registrants

For first-time registration on or after January 1, 2026, complete 80 hours of approved education, including required core competencies, within six months. Applicable exemptions are explained below.

50 hours / year

Still completing your education

Registered counselors with fewer than 315 education hours must complete at least 50 hours of approved AOD education annually for renewal. These hours count toward initial certification education.

20 CE hours / year

Education complete, not yet certified

Registered counselors who have completed 315 education hours but have not obtained certification must complete 20 hours of approved continuing education for annual registration renewal.

Registration dates and exemptions

Registrants in good standing who registered before July 1, 2025 are exempt from the 80-hour, six-month requirement, but must meet applicable education and core competency requirements for initial certification. Those first registered July 1–December 31, 2025 were required to submit their 80 hours and core competency education by July 1, 2026. Additional exemptions may apply, including specified graduate degrees. Review the DHCS FAQ and confirm your situation with your certifying organization.

How does UC San Diego’s ASCEND program fit?

ASCEND is an optional, free 80-hour online core competency education program. Check whether your certifying organization accepts the coursework before enrolling. Accepted education may count toward initial certification requirements. DHCS states that ASCEND does not satisfy CEU requirements for already licensed or certified counselors.

Do all students need 20 additional CE hours while attending school?

No. The 20-hour renewal requirement described here applies after completing 315 education hours while remaining registered and not yet certified. Do not assume every student needs separate continuing education in addition to their approved school coursework.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Are your courses approved?

Yes. AOD CEU Workshop is a CADTP-approved CE provider (#309). You can verify our listing on CADTP's website. CCAPP and CAADE approval is planned for the future. Check with your certifying organization about accepting CADTP-approved CE.

Will these courses count toward my renewal?

Our courses are approved CE through CADTP. Requirements depend on your credential and registration status, so confirm what you need with your certifying organization. See our AB 2473 guide above for registrant requirements.

How do I get my certificate?

Pass the final exam with 80% or higher, then complete a short evaluation and attestation. Your certificate will be available to download in My Account.

What if I don't pass the final exam?

You can review the material and retake the exam after a failed attempt. After two failed attempts, you must repeat the full course before trying again.

Is there a daily CE limit?

You can complete up to 10 CE hours per calendar day (Pacific Time) across all AODCEU courses combined. This keeps your certificates in line with CADTP's online CE guidance. Longer bundles are designed to be completed over several days.

Is the free course really free?

Yes. Create a learner account and take the 3-hour Law & Ethics course with no payment or card required. You'll earn 3 CE hours and a certificate, just like our paid courses.

What does Annual Access include?

What is your refund policy?

You may request a full refund within 14 calendar days after fulfillment if no course included in the purchase has been started. See our full Refund Policy.
