Continuing Competence Newsletter
Volume III, Winter Issue January 2019
ASWB and Continuing Competence
ASWB's Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program approves providers of social work continuing education. ASWB approves social work continuing education courses for the state of New Jersey.
Courses offered by ACE providers are not accepted in New Jersey unless those courses have also been approved through the New Jersey CE Course Approval Program. 
These approvals are currently separate processes. In early 2019, ACE will begin offering individual course approval for New Jersey and other jurisdictions. Stay tuned!
ACE News
Important notice: Provider agreements and contact updates now required annually

ACE now requires providers to update their provider contact details and sign a new provider agreement annually. When our new online application and provider dashboard system goes live (expected April 2019), providers will be advised to log in to the system to update contact information and complete a new provider agreement. Please make sure we have the correct contact information for your primary contact now, so that we email the right person as soon as our new system is live and ready for updating and use..
