provided by an accredited school or education program to meet continuing education requirements. Click
HERE for more information. MINNESOTA JUSTIFICATON
While there is an inherent risk taking trainings that are not pre-approved by a board, we believe the risk is
minimal with Laban's Training because we meet all the requirements stated in the MN regulations.
The MN board does not approve providers or courses. They clearly state the standards for approval . Here
is the information that supports us:
The rules can be found at this link
The revised Minnesota rules for continuing education state the following Subd. 2b. Alcohol and drug
counselor continuing education activities are obtained by a licensee at educational programs of annual
conferences, lectures, panel discussions, workshops, seminars, symposiums, employer-sponsored
inservices, or courses taken through accredited schools or education programs, including home study
courses. A home study course need not be provided by an accredited school or education program to meet
continuing education requirements. Subd. 4. Standards for approval. In order to obtain clock hour credit for
a continuing education activity, the activity must:
(1) constitute an organized program of learning- ours are organized programs
(2) reasonably be expected to advance the knowledge and skills of the alcohol and drug counselor- ours do
as validated by over 15,000 evaluations supporting knowledge advancement.
(3) pertain to subjects that directly relate to the practice of alcohol and drug counseling and the core
functions of an alcohol and drug counselor, or the rules of professional conduct in Minnesota Rules, part
4747.1400;- all of our courses relate to the 12 core functions
(4) be conducted by individuals who have education, training, and experience and are knowledgeable about
the subject matter; Dr. Laban hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and is a certified addictions counselor
and certified addictions supervisor in Pennsylvania. Other contracted writers hold advanced degrees and
specialty training that qualify them as well.
(5) be presented by a sponsor who has a system to verify participation and maintains attendance records
for three years, unless the sponsor provides dated evidence to each participant with the number of clock
hours awarded. - Laban's Trainings maintain records for 10 years.
