Continuing Education Event Applications

PCIT International can provide CE approval for your trainings so they will count towards PCIT Therapists’ and Trainers’ recertification requirements. PCIT International is also approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a sponsor for continuing education (CE) credits and is currently pending approval from the National Association for Social Workers (NASW).

In the future, to be able to offer Basic and WATer trainings, you must submit in November - December open enrollment the prior year. These applications are renewed once per year. In providing this training, you agree to use the standard advertisement that we will provide for you, as well as agreeing to abide by the standardized training goals approved by PCIT International.

Other one-time trainings (e.g., webinars, conferences, advanced trainings) will be reviewed and approved for PCIT & Psychologist CEs using the 2- One-Time Training CE Application. As a reminder, applications must be received at least two months prior to the date(s) of the training.

In order to apply for Basic and WATer trainings between March 2024 - March 2025, please follow the following steps:

Fill out our open enrollment google form to ensure you are registered as a trainer (was due December 2022).
Use our standardized advertisement and evaluation forms (which can be found here) for any and all Basic and WATer trainings you plan to have for the upcoming training year. As a reminder, all Basic trainings must be offered for 40 CEs, and all WATer trainings must be offered for 8 CEs.If you would like to extend the time of your Basic training to be over 40 hours, you are more than welcome to. However, no more than 40 CEs will be offered.You can input additional information relevant/specific to your training (i.e., cost, trainer biography, etc). However, you cannot delete or modify any sections of the standardized advertisement that are on the document.
All trainers must fill out the Speaker & Planner Disclosure Form.
Fill out the 1- Standardized CE Application (at least two months prior to the start date of your training). ** We recognize this deadline is not feasible for March and April trainings, and will be conducting an expedited review process for trainings happening during these months, so long as all trainers filled out the open enrollment Google form last year **
The CE Task Force will be in touch regarding approval or potential edits to make to your materials.
Pending hearing regarding our application decision from NASW, your training will then be approved for NASW CEs. Your application will be approved for PCIT and Psychologist CEs.
