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 as a sponsor for continuing education (CE) credits.
PCIT International and the CE Task Force are working to increase access to continuing education for masters and doctoral-level therapists. In light of this, we recognize that transitions can be a bit confusing. Thank you for your flexibility and patience as you learn this new process, and please check for emails from the CE Task Force and BoD sent to the Listserv.
In the future, to be able to offer Basic, WATer, Toddler, and PCIT-SM 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 New CE Application Form.
