📝Clinical Supervisor CE Requirements in Illinois

The Illinois Administrative Code mandates specific continuing education (CE) requirements for LCPCs transitioning into clinical supervision roles:

  • One-Time Requirement: Illinois requires LCPCs to complete a one-time, 9-hour clinical supervision training as part of their 30 CE-hour renewal requirement.

This requirement is clearly stated in the administrative code.

Becoming a Qualified Clinical Supervisor

In Illinois, to become an approved clinical supervisor, you must hold one of these licenses:

  • Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
