How do I purchase the CE courses for videos, articles and interviews?

Videos: When you purchase a video you may add CE Credits for that video by checking the box for CE Credits. If you have previously purchased a video, and now want the CE course, you may go to the video product page and order the CE course separately. Many CE video courses come with a Viewers Manual or related articles and interviews.

Articles/Interviews: You simply go to the bottom of an article or interview and click on Add to Cart button to begin the process.

How do I obtain a Certificate of Completion for CE Courses? You study the material (video, interview, article, or manual) at your own pace, and take the brief online test when you are ready. Once you pass the post-test with at least 70%, you will receive a Certificate of Completion via email. If you do not pass the test, you may retake it until you do pass for no additional charge. You can use the certificate to complete the CE paperwork required by your board. Psychotherapy.net does not submit any documentation to licensing boards.

Are videos, articles, interviews & manuals approved for Home Study and Online CE Credits? Yes. Psychotherapy.net has gained approval for home study and online CE Credits for courses involving articles, interviews, manuals and videos. See CE main page for complete list of courses. Most associations and boards allow a certain amount of CE to be obtained online or in home study courses. All of our post tests are taken by participants in online format.

How do I contact Psychotherapy.net with questions, comments, or concerns? Psychotherapy.net can be contacted via email, at ce@psychotherapy.net, or by telephone: 800 577-4762 (U.S. only) or 415-752-2235. We will respond to inquiries within 72 hours via email or phone.

Refunds? Psychotherapy.net will provide a 100% refund if you are dissatisfied with the products or materials. A request for refund must be made (1) within 60 days of purchase of the course, and (2) prior to taking the course post-test. Refunds are not available once you have taken a CE test, whether or not you passed.

Feedback on CE Courses? We want to hear from you. After you complete the post test we ask that you complete an online Course Evaluation. Please take a moment to share your thoughts with us. We count on your feedback to provide the best programs that we can.
