    Per ABEC Administrative Rule 255-X-3-.03(3)(h):

    Recertification. Recertification/renewal of the LPC-S certification will be a part of the LPC license the LPC-S is based upon. A separate renewal of the LPC-s is not necessary.
    Maintenance of the Supervisor status shall require that the LPC-S accrue a minimum of five (5) formal contact clock hours of relevant professional and continued education devoted to supervision during each two-year renewal cycle of the accompanying LPC license. These five (5) hours cannot be from the Continuing Education Credit for LPC-Supervisors. These five (5) hours can count as a part of the required forty (40) hours or continuing education for LPC licensure renewal.

    LPC-S’s who fail to renew their LPC license each two-year period with the required five (5) hours devoted to supervision content must reapply to the Board for Supervising Counselor status.
