NBCC CE Verification: NCFR is an approved provider of continuing education for NBCC, the National Board for Certified Counselors. The 2019 conference is approved for up to 18.5 NBCC credits through in-person conference attendance. Add NBCC CE Verification to your conference registration at $25 for NCFR members and $50 for nonmembers.
Most U.S. states accept NBCC credit for licensure requirements for marriage and family therapists. For information on specific state requirements, please consult your state’s licensing board. -
Verification of Conference Attendance (for any attendee, including CFLEs): Add Verification of Conference Attendance to your conference registration if you would like to have your conference attendance verified. $25 for NCFR members, $50 for nonmembers. This option is available to Certified Family Life Educators (CFLEs) if desired for their own records; NCFR does not require CFLEs to submit CE verification. CFLEs can earn up to 20.5 CFLE credits through in-person conference attendance.
Certificates for NBCC and for Verification of Conference Attendance will be sent after your conference verification submission is reviewed by NCFR.
The list of all sessions approved for CE hours are posted at the bottom of this page.
