| Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total clock hours each cycle | 24 clock hours |
| Ethics relevant to the license being renewed Within the total. | 3 hours |
| Supervision — supervisors only For a board-approved supervisor, each renewal period; 3 of the 6 from a board-recognized state association or an Arkansas university program. | 6 hours |
| Renewal cycle | Every 2 years |
| Hours are dueThe source as read gives no date that can be worked out for you. | The date on your license |
- The hours are those completed in the 24 months before renewal.
- The remaining hours must be counseling in nature and support your statement of intent; a specialization on that statement needs hours of its own.
- Holding both a family-therapy and a counseling license, the 24 hours (3 in ethics) cover both, with a balance of counseling and family-therapy content.
- Passing the NCE, NCMHCE or AMFTRB examination at the national pass score may stand in for the hours.
