The National Council on Family Relations sponsors the Certified Family Life Educator program and provides approval for continuing education credits for applicable educational programs. If your program would be of interest to those who have received the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) designation, consider applying for CFLE continuing education credits. Attendees can earn credit for attending your meeting or participating in online courses. The credit can be used as part of their certification renewal.
