This virtual training is divided into two segments: the first 10 hours is an asynchronous self-directed/self-paced learning format, and the next 20 hours is in a live-learning, virtual format. Completion of both segments is required for a certificate of completion in the Gambling Counselor Core Training program.
Those wishing to pursue Washington State certified gambling counselor certification can familiarize themselves with certification requirements*, including education, licensing, and eligibility requirements. The gambling counselor core training is open to all, but the counselor certification is based on eligibility.
Participants may earn up to 16 CEs on important topics ranging from gender-affirming healthcare, cultural sensitivity, faith-based/spiritual meaning considerations, purpose in recovery, relational trauma repair, gaming/gambling and sensory perception disorders, gaming/gambling and ADHD, and military/veteran considerations.
