What continuing education (CE) requirements do Iowa-licensed mental health providers need to meet—and which of them can be fulfilled through Psych Hub?

This Iowa CE Compliance Guide provides a clear, comprehensive overview of continuing education requirements for LCSWs, LMSWs, LISWs, LMHCs, and LMFTs. It outlines the number of hours required for each license type, Iowa’s ethics and supervision mandates, renewal timelines, and the state’s allowance for completing all CE hours through online learning. The guide also details what Psych Hub courses can fulfill—such as ethics, supervision, trauma-informed practice, CBT, MI, and general CE—and clarifies which trainings must be completed externally, including Iowa’s Mandatory Reporter requirements. Providers will find curated course recommendations, key compliance notes, and answers to common questions about meeting Iowa licensing board standards. A reminder is included that Psych Hub is not the regulatory authority and that all CE decisions should be verified with the Iowa licensing boards.
