The CA BBS
The California Board of Behavioral Sciences (CA BBS) accepts all courses offered by AspiraCE. Aspira CE offers continuing education credit for various mental health professionals. The BBS no longer approves providers themselves. Therefore, they have deferred the process to other agencies and boards. Aspira CE approvals meet the necessary requirement by the BBS to offer CE courses to all licensees within CA, even ASW CE. You can visit our page for information.
