What type of Continuing Education Credits do you offer?

We are approved to offer a variety of Continuing Education certificates. However, not all programs are approved for all types of CE/CEUs. Each program — live or Homestudy — is clearly labeled with the type and number of credits offered.

Here is the list of continuing education credits we offer:

• Continuing Education Credits (CEs) – Psychologists
  • The term “CEs” refers to Continuing Education Credits earned by psychologists. To offer CE for psychologists, programming must follow the criteria established by the American Psychological Association (APA). Most licensing boards accept Continuing Education Credits sponsored by APA; non-psychologists are recommended to consult with their specific state-licensing board to ensure that APA-sponsored CE is accepted.
• Continuing Education Units (CEUs) – Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists
  • The term “CEUs” refers to continuing education units earned by mental health disciplines including LCPCs, LCSWs, and MFTs. Programs offering CEUs for LCPCs, LCSWs, and MFTs at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology follow the criteria outlined by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s School Psychology Program is approved by the National Association of School Psychologists. To offer CPDs for school psychologists, programming must follow the criteria established by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).
• Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs) – Educators

The type of CE/CEU I need is not listed on the course I want to take. What do I do?

Many licensing agencies will accept out-of-state or APA CE Certificates towards continuing education credits. Some states place limits on how many credits can be earned via online trainings. Please check with your specific licensing board to determine the acceptability of the credits being offered.

How do I know my state’s renewal requirements? 

While we recommend visiting your states licensing board’s website, most licensing requirements can be found here. 

Does The Office of Continuing Education offer student or other discounts? 

Yes, OCE offers student, alumni, and faculty and staff discounts for most programs. Please email [email protected] with the name of the program for which you would like a coupon code.

How do I register for a live or Homestudy program? 

Once you have selected the program you would like to register for, select the “click here to register for this course” button, found at the top of the program’s information page. You can then either add the program to your cart and continue shopping, or pay from the product page by selecting the “PayPal” or “Venmo” button. 

I’ve registered for a live session> Will I have access to the Homestudy? 

Registering for a live event does not guarantee access to the recording of that event. While many of our partners opt to share access to their recordings via the Office of Continuing Education at The Chicago School Homestudy site, some do not. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
