The SocialWorkU CEU Tracker is built around how social workers actually manage licensure — not a generic CE app retrofitted for the profession. It knows your state's specific requirements, tracks multiple CE cycles simultaneously, and flags expiring credits before renewal deadlines hit.
State-Specific Requirements Loaded Automatically
Enter your state and license type once. The tracker pre-loads your jurisdiction's CE hour requirements, approved topic minimums (ethics, cultural competence, suicide prevention), and renewal window — no manual setup.
Key Features
📋 Credit Logging
Log any CE activity in seconds — course name, provider, date, hours, topic category, and NASW approval status. Upload your completion certificate as a backup. The tracker validates against your state's approved provider list automatically.
⏰ Renewal Reminders
Set reminders at 90, 60, and 30 days before your renewal deadline. SWU AI calculates exactly how many hours you still need and surfaces approved courses that fill the gap — filtered by format (live, async, in-person) and topic area.
📊 Progress Dashboard
Visual progress rings show your CEU cycle completion at a glance: total hours earned, hours remaining, ethics hours separately tracked, and days until renewal. The same urgency engine that powers your main dashboard.
🔍 Approved Provider Search
Search NASW-approved and state board-approved CE providers directly from the tracker. Filter by topic, format, cost, and credit hours. Link directly to the course registration page.
How Many CEUs Do Social Workers Need?
CE requirements vary by state and license level. Most states require 20–40 hours per renewal period, with specific minimums for ethics content. Some states mandate training in areas like domestic violence, cultural competence, or suicide prevention.
