Continuing Education Event Applications

  PCIT International can provide CE approvals for your trainings which count towards PCIT Therapists’ and Trainers’ recertification requirements. PCIT International also is approved by the American Psychological Association as a sponsor for continuing education (CE) credits. We use different CE applications depending on the type of event you are offering. Please read below for details on the process to submit the correct CE application for your event type.
 
Important Notes:

  • For all events, please ensure to submit you application at least TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO ADVERTISING CEs for a training event.
    • Reviewers need sufficient time to review the application and event organizers need time to respond to the reviewers’ edits before the application can receive final approval and event promotion can begin.
  • Only Level 1, Level 2, and Master Trainers certified by PCIT International are eligible to be the primary instructors for this event.
  • All CEs cost $35 per participant. Event organizers can make their cumulative CE event payment via PayPayl at paypal.me/PCITInt or send ONE check for the event to Melanie Nelson at:

  • All even applications, if approved, are approved for both PCIT CE and APA CE. There is no price or CE difference for seeking one type of approval and not the other.
  • If your application has been sent to the reviewers and has not yet been approved, we allow for you to add this statement in your advertisements in the meantime:
                                                        "APA and PCIT CEs are pending approval from PCIT International."
 
PCIT Continuing Education Event Applications- Please read carefully to submit the correct type(s) of applications:
 
Single-session CE Application: 
  • This is the application used for most live, synchronous single session CE events

    • Example: Fundamental or PCIT Basic training, Level 1 training, one day conferences whether onsite or remote/virtual
 
Conference or Multi-session Application:  
  • This application is to be used for conferences with multiple co-occurring or serial sessions where participants gain multiple CEs depending on their attendance to the various events

Repeated or Previously Approved CE Applications 
  • This is our “frequent flyer” application. It can only be used for events that have been previously approved via the general CE application, where only minor things such as date, time, and/or location change but the sum and substance of the CE event must be otherwise the same as a previously submitted General CE application.
 
Pre-Recorded Video Session: 
  • This application is for sessions that are pre-recorded and available for viewing online with no live, synchronous instruction.
  • Quizzes are required as part of learner documentation
