Self-Paced Programs
This section includes fully asynchronous, on-demand courses that participants can complete at their own pace. Upon registration and payment for the asynchronous course(s), a confirmation will be emailed to the participant with instructions on how to log into Blackboard, our online course system. If you have any issues accessing your course, please call our office at 616-331-7180 or email [email protected]. You must receive a passing score of 80% or better on the post-test to receive credit for the course. Upon successful completion of the course(s), your Michigan Social Work Continuing Education certificate will be made available to download within Blackboard, our online course system. Please download and save/print this upon finishing the course. If you've finished a course and no longer have access to the certificate, please email us for a replacement copy: [email protected]
"What about Implicit Bias??" - The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has recently clarified that the Implicit Bias requirement can be completed fully asynchronously (self-paced). Given this recent clarification, we are currently developing a self-paced option that will fulfill the Implicit Bias licensure requirement and count for continuing education credits. If you would like to receive an update when we have made this available, please subscribe to our email updates here. For more information, please view the LARA Public Health Code R 338.7004 Implicit bias training standards or FAQ document.
