How to Earn NBCC CE Hours in Eating Disorders (2027)

Continuing Education · 2025-10-14

A clear guide to earning NBCC-approved continuing education in eating disorders and body image — including the 12 CE hours available at the 2027 Nura Conference.

The short answer

To earn NBCC continuing education in eating disorders, attend a program offered by an NBCC-Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP), complete the sessions, and pass any required evaluation. The 2027 Nura Conference offers 12 CE hours through The Eating Disorder Consultants, an NBCC-Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP No. 7905) — attend in person in Salt Lake City or live online, September 17–18, 2027.

What "NBCC-approved" actually means

The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) approves organizations — not individual talks — to award continuing education. When a provider holds an ACEP number, the CE hours it issues are recognized by NBCC and by many state licensing boards that accept NBCC credit. Nura's hours are issued through The Eating Disorder Consultants under ACEP No. 7905.

Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are always identified as such, and the provider — not the individual presenter — is responsible for every aspect of the program. That structure is what makes the credit dependable.

How to earn the credit at Nura 2027

Register for the conference, attend the sessions (in person or via the live stream), and complete the CE evaluation. You will receive documentation of your 12 hours to submit to your board. Dietitians can pursue RD credit as well — the conference has been submitted to the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) for continuing education hours.

One caveat that applies to every conference: it is your responsibility to confirm with your own licensing board that NBCC (or CDR) hours satisfy your specific license. Boards vary, and a two-minute check now saves a renewal-season headache later.
