Continuing Education FAQs
Are CE credits available for your products?
Yes. The availability of continuing education credits on home study products varies by profession. Please contact your licensing/certification board to confirm credit availability. Credit information is also listed by profession under the “CE Credits” tab on each product’s webpage. If CE is mentioned but your profession is not listed, please contact your board to confirm whether self-study is an acceptable option, and to check for reciprocal approval. Some boards will allow you to submit for self-study CE on your own, or will approve our self-study packages based on the approval of other licensing boards.
A Certificate of Successful Completion will be issued upon successful completion of the program’s post-test and evaluation. Post-tests consist of multiple-choice and true/false questions. A passing score is 80%.
How do I complete the post-test for a product?
Post-test completion options vary by product format. For all product formats, a Certificate of Successful Completion will be issued upon successful completion of the program’s post-test and evaluation. Post-tests consist of multiple-choice and true/false questions. A passing score is 80%.
Magazine Quizzes: Hover over “Magazine” and then select “Magazine Quizzes” from the drop-down menu.
DVDs: For most programs, post-tests can be completed online through your account, or you can send in a paper test to be graded. There is an additional fee to complete the post-test for DVDs. This fee varies by program, but the online test is less expensive than the paper test fee. Both online and paper tests are available to additional participants for an additional fee.
Paper tests are available in PDF format in the handouts tab of your account. Please allow 4-6 weeks to receive the Certificate of Successful Completion for your paper test.
Online tests can be purchased at the time that you purchase the program, online in your account, or by calling customer service.
Digital Seminars: Your payment for the program includes one free CE test. To complete the test, please log into your distance-learning account and click the orange “Certificate” button under the program’s title. Tests are available to additional participants for an additional fee.
Online Courses: Your payment for the online course includes the post-test(s) for the program. The post-test(s) may be accessed by signing into your account and launching the course. For most courses, the CE tests are accessible by clicking the “CE Tests” or “CE Certificate” tab within the course. After you successfully complete the post-test online, you will able to download or email your Certificate of Successful Completion immediately. We’re sorry, but post-tests may not be purchased for additional participants.
Do CE credits expire on home study products?
Yes. PESI, Inc. sets CE expiration dates based on the CE activity standards of individual licensing boards and other accrediting bodies, so requirements can vary widely across professions and states. Please review the CE credit statements on each program’s webpage for any credit-specific expiration dates. As a general guideline, PESI recommends completing all digital seminars and home‑study programs within one year of purchase unless the listed CE information relevant to your profession and state specify otherwise.
Are continuing education credits available for the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium?
Yes, but not all workshops offer CE credit. Please see the website for details. If credits are not available for a workshop, it will be stated under the workshop’s description in the brochure (i.e. Note: No CE credit for this workshop).
Available credits vary by profession.
