Courses produced by NASW and your chapter are free with membership; everything else carries a member price against the public rate. Every completion is reported to your state board for you, and courses, certificates, and completed hours from the previous CE Institute came across in the migration.
Renewal period ends Oct 31, 2026. Requirements update automatically for your state and license (change it in the header). License, state, and renewal date come from NASW's iMIS record, and every hour you earn posts back to iMIS, so your NASW transcript and your state-board filing always match.
