ACS 45-Hour Clinical Supervisor Bridge Program
20-Hour Live Training • Louisiana-Approved Continuing Education
Earn Your National Supervisor Credential
Our ACS 45-Hour Clinical Supervisor Bridge Program provides an efficient, nationally recognized pathway for licensed clinicians who have already completed a state-approved supervisor training and want to advance to the Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) credential.
This program delivers the additional 20 CE hours required to meet the 45-hour ACS training standard, while strengthening advanced supervisory leadership, ethics, multicultural responsiveness, and gatekeeping competencies.
The ACS credential is the premier national certification for clinical supervisors and is recognized across many U.S. states.
Disclaimer: As a continuing education provider, we must provide participants the facilitator’s qualifications, a daily agenda, the live presentation of course content, and a completion certificate for those who meet requirements. We are not required to provide written materials, forms, outlines, or templates, but we do share a few helpful resources. Participants should come prepared, take their own notes, and follow the LPC Board Rules and Regulations to create proper supervisory documentation.
