FAQ

Your questions, answered.

Continuing education (CE) in psychology is an ongoing process consisting of formal learning activities that:

  • Are relevant to psychological practice, education and science.
  • Enable psychologists to keep pace with the most current scientific evidence regarding assessment, intervention and education as well as important legal, statutory or regulatory issues.
  • Allow psychologists to maintain, develop and increase competencies in order to improve services to the public and enhance contributions to the profession.

Continuing education builds upon a completed doctoral program in psychology. It is not a substitute for the basic academic education and training needed for entry to the field of psychology, nor should it be the primary vehicle for career changes from one APA-recognized specialty area (e.g., clinical, counseling, school psychology) to another.

APA, The American Psychological Association, is the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with more than 146,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students as its members.

The requirement for CE Credits varies by state. The APA has published an overview, which you can view here, but you are advised to check with your individual state board for licensing requirements.
