TAKE NOTE:

• Credentialing bodies and licensing boards have the final authority on the acceptance of individual courses.
• Hours & credit types listed are subject to change based on approval.
• LeadingAge Texas will update this page and the designations listed within each session in the Educational Sessions page accordingly.
• Credit hours listed reflect the maximum hours possible for an attendee in a single discipline.
• Tip: Read each session description fully and verify the types of education credits offered before choosing which sessions to attend.

A • Nursing Home Administrators & Assisted Living Managers

This program has been approved for Continuing Education for 6.5 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS—Approval #20211005-16.50-A69851-DL. All sessions included in this program offer NAB credit (sessions are marked with an “A” designation). 

Ethics content: While NAB does not have a specific standard on ethics credit, sessions with an “AE” designation include ethics content/ethical topics (there are 3 participant hours of sessions available with ethics content/ethical topics during this event [2C; 3C; 4A])

SW • Social Workers

note: LeadingAge Texas is not a CE provider for the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC)*

This program has 6.5 contact hours that the association deems suitable for social workers’ continuing education*. 
*As of September 1, 2020, the regulatory authority over social workers transferred from the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners to the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC), The Social Work Board has proposed repealing the requirements that CE providers be formally approved; if this proposed change is adopted, CE providers will not need to be approved by the Board or renew their approval to provide CE hours. Therefore, at this time, LeadingAge Texas is complying with the following proposed rules:

  §781.509.Types of Acceptable Continuing Education.
To be acceptable for the purposes of license renewal or satisfaction of disciplinary stipulations the education must be received from a continuing education provider that: 

(1) ensures that the education provided is directly related to the practice of social work; 
(2) ensures that the individual(s) presenting the information have the necessary experience and knowledge in the topic(s) presented; 
(3) verifies attendance of participants and provides participants with a letter, certificate, or transcript that displays the licensee’s name, topic covered, date(s) or academic period course was taken, and hours of credit earned;
(4) provides participants a mechanism for evaluation of each continuing education activity; and 
(5) maintains all continuing education records and documentation for at least three years.

Look for the “SW” designation; sessions with an “SWE” designation include ethics content/ethical topics (there are 3 contact hours of sessions available with ethics content/ethical topics during this event)

As of 09.04.20 the following credit types did not reach a “sustainable number of registrants,” thus LeadingAge Texas did not proceed with applying to the corresponding credentialing bodies to offer CE credit:

• Activity Professionals | Upon reaching a sustainable number of registrants seeking AP credit hours, (simply select the option when prompted on your registration form), LeadingAge Texas will submit an application to the National Certification Council for Activity Professionals (NCCAP) seeking approval for continuing education.

• Human Resources Professionals | Upon reaching a sustainable number of registrants seeking HR credit hours (simply select the option when prompted on your registration form), will submit an application to The HR Certification Institute (HRCI) seeking approval for this program for recertification credit towards (General HR credit type).

EVALUATIONS & CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE

Evaluations will be sent to verified attendees of a session within two weeks of the date of the presentation - you must sign in and out for each session you attended to receive an email with the evaluation link. Upon completion of each evaluation, the corresponding certificate of attendance will be posted to your LeadingAge Texas online profile in the Professional Development section.
