Does the ABA Offer Tier 1 Continuing Education Hours?
No. ABA does not offer continuing education hours as it is not a continuing education provider. ABA requires continuing education hours, including Tier 1 continuing education, for recertification. Typically, associations or private entities provide continuing education through conventions, focused conferences, journals or distance learning programs. The ABA is a certification body that encourages lifelong learning by requiring its certificants to pursue continuing education but is not a continuing education provider. The ABA office does, however, provide information regarding Tier 1 providers.
