Get Certified by PCIT International!


PCIT International is pleased to announce we are now accepting Certification applications for Therapists and Within Agency Trainers who have completed their PCIT Training.

Why Become Certified?
Certification has been developed in response to therapists, agencies, and third-party payers who have long asked how PCIT providers can document that they have met a set of standards for competent delivery of the treatment. Certification is one way PCIT International is promoting the effective dissemination of PCIT nationally and internationally.

How Do I Apply for Certification?
Therapists
  • To become certified, PCIT Therapists must meet specific training requirements, as outlined in the Training Requirements for Certification as a PCIT Therapist (Click HERE).
  • Click HERE for a description of an optional Certification Preparation Workshop.
  • If you have completed your PCIT Therapist training, you can download the Therapist Certification Application HERE:
Within Agency Trainers 
  • To become Certified, PCIT Trainers must meet specific training requirements, as outlined in the Training Requirements for Certification as a Within Agency Trainer (Click HERE for more information).
  • Click HERE for a description of the required Within Agency Trainer Workshop.
  • If you have completed your PCIT Within Agency Trainer training, you can download the Application HERE: 
What Is the Certification Process?
Upon submission, your application will be reviewed. When all criteria are met, applicants will be provided access to the Certification Experience, a multiple choice quiz that ensures therapists have knowledge of the most current versions of the PCIT and DPICS protocols (Click HERE to purchase the newest treatment and coding manuals).

This training will help clinicians meet the core competencies of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy that are assessed within the PCIT Certification Experience Homestudy Exam.
 
This homestudy course involves the self-directed study of key PCIT materials (treatment protocol, coding manual) as well as an article on the history of PCIT. The course is presented through the online classroom module, Moodle. Within Moodle, participants complete an online learning exercise designed to build and strengthen understanding of PCIT concepts and techniques through a series of multiple choice questions, with feedback on correct and incorrect responses to promote learning.
 
The intended audience for this online education experience is beginner skilled therapists and graduate students who have exposure to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy.
 
This activity is self-paced. The materials can be read at any time, and the online quiz is available at any time.

What Are Some of the Benefits of Certification?
Therapists who are certified by PCIT International have met a number of training and competence standards that help to maintain the treatment’s effectiveness. Once you are certified, you will:
  • Have a certificate to provide to third-party payers that shows you have learned the current, evidence-based PCIT protocol.
  • Be placed on the PCIT International website and included in the international database as a Certified Therapist so that families and other professionals can find you. Click HERE to see the current list of Certified Therapists and Trainers.
  • Have opportunities to attend Call-In Hours hosted by PCIT International Certified Global Trainers.
  • Be invited to join listservs with other certified practitioners.
  • Have access to continuing education opportunities through the PCIT International website that will help you remain up-to-date in PCIT and may also serve to meet APA requirements for continuing education. 
  • Receive a reduced fee for continuing education credits at the biennial conventions.

What If I Was Trained Before the Current Training Guidelines (2009 or earlier)?
For therapists trained prior to the development of the PCIT International Training Requirements (i.e., prior to 2009), participation in a Certification Preparation Workshop is recommended. Click HERE to find a listing of upcoming workshops and more information regarding updates in training.

If you have received PCIT training, consider applying for certification soon!
