Q. How
do online courses work?
A. Online and self-study are great ways
to get your continuing education requirements filled; no conferences,
hotels, parking, childcare, etc. No hassle!!!!!! It
is important to check with your licensing board to find out how many
of your ceus can be taken independently. As
of February 1, 2003, every course at www.psychceu.com qualifies as an
online course according to the ruling of the Behavioral Board of Sciences,
because we process our exams interactively, and offer a discussion forum
for clinicians. So you may take all 36 of
your California ceus at www.psychceu.com

Q.
I'm nervous about doing this
on my computer. Can you help?
A. We are committed to
helping you! Listen to what some
of our students have said:
(often for the first time!!!) "Success!!!!!! Yeah !!!!! I should probably change my e-mail address to: "old dog learning new tricks.com" I still don't know what went wrong, but I'm thrilled that finally I was successful! I loved the course--read it while it was printing--and thank you immensely for all your caring support!" "...to be honest, I was really worried about giving my credit card on-line. Your secure server was great...and it was so easy. Thank you for making ceus a pleasure!" " I am new to the Internet and was very nervous
using it. You walked me through every step. It was fun, and the
course was wonderful. Thank you!" |
Q. I just
ordered an online class, and got my invoice. What
happens next?
A. You will immediately receive confirmation
of your order, your password and how to access the course material. Many
students like to print out the post-test before they start the course,
to answer as they go along. If you wish to do that,
go to the post-test and print it out first. Read the material, take the
test. When you pass , just print out your certificate.
That's
it!
You
are done!
It's
that easy!
When
you are done, just print out your certificate!
Q.
Can I print out the post-test to answer as I go along?
A. Yes! Many of our students
like to print out the post-test to answer as they read the course material,
and, then when they are ready, return to the log-in page and answer the post-test
questions.
Q.
How fast are you?
A. Really
fast!! You will get immediate feedback on your answers, and can print
out your own certificate when you have passed the post-test. Good luck!
Q.
I can't re-access my course/test material. What do I do?
A.
We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing.
To get back into the course, please close your browser
window and re-open it. It should then appear fine. We have found that
90% of access problems are solved by simply closing your browser window and
re-opening it.
Sometimes an individual might have to open the preferences in their browser,
and "clear the cache" or delete their history, but usually all that
is needed it to close and reopen the browser.
Good luck!
Q.
I lost my certificate. What do I do?
A. Go back to the log-in page,
at:
https://www.psychceu.com/materialsandtests/login.asp
and use the "Reprint certificate" link at the bottom.
Q. Will
you mail me a certificate?
A. No.
One of the beauties of online education is that your test is immediately
scored, you are given the correct answers, and, if you pass (which
we really hope that you do!) you print out your own certificate! No
waiting! That's
it! You
are done!It's
that easy!
Q. Can you please
explain about how much time online courses take and also the fees for
any particular course? I haven't done distance learning online before.
Can you stop and start if the learning keeps getting interrupted with
other duties (like life!)? Also, how long do you have to complete it?
A. In online courses, the number of units offered corresponds to the number of hours the course takes to complete. Some people finish a five unit course more quickly than in five hours; others take longer, going back to it several times, as their schedules permit. There is no expiration date for taking a course, and you can go back to it as often as you wish, which is the beauty of an online or independent study course. You also may print it out if you prefer to read the material from paper, rather than your computer.
Q. I
am trying to figure out how to order online courses however, although
there is course information, I can't find the ordering process on your
website. How do I order?
A. Thanks for your
interest. Just scroll down on the front page, or the page of the course of
interest, until you see the bird logo
,
which connects to our order page, or access it directly at: https://www.psychceu.com/ordercourse/orderform.asp.
Fill out the quantities for the courses you want, then scroll up or down to the check-out box. This will connect you directly to our secure server. Please e-mail us or call 888-777-3773 if you need help.

Notes:
Board of Registered Nursing (Provider #13620)
For nurses most states that require ce/ceus accept the CA approval as equivalent for their state. Please check with your state licensing board for reciprocity! Nursing hours count as 1.2 times the number of hours cited; so a 10 ce course is equivalent to 12 nursing hours. Let us know when you submit your post-test if you need a BRN certificate by checking the appropriate box. California nurses may take ALL of their required continuing education at www.psychceu.com!
Sandplay courses taught by teaching members of the International Society for Sandplay Therapy, may be accepted as coursework hours by
National Board for Certified Counselors is accepted in 39 states.
California Board of Behavioral Science Examiners for MFTs and LCSWs is also accepted reciprocally in many states for CEUs.

As each new course must be individually approved, please check with us if you are not sure. 41 states accept the NASW approval!www.psychceu.com is approved by the Association for Play Therapy to offer continuing education specific to play therapy. Our provider number is 02-117. www.psychceu.com maintains responsibility for the program.
The Association for Play Therapy accepts many of our courses for non-contact training hours, which can be used:
a) To become a Registered Play Therapist
A maximum of 30 of the 150 clock hours of instruction in Play
Therapy may be earned via non-contact training. All hours must be granted by an APT approved CE Provider
II. Continuing Education
Once registered, play therapists must complete not less than 36 hours of continuing education every three (3) years to maintain their registration, at least 18 of which must be play therapy specific and granted by APT approved CE providers. Also, not more than 18 of the 36 hours may be earned via non-contact learning but not more than nine (9) of these 18 non-contact hours may be play therapy specific. In addition, 4 hours of supervisor training must be completed/documented within 6 years (or two CE cycles) for those approved prior to 11/1/2000.7) The Texas Board of Social Work Examiners accepts www.psychceu.com's courses for continuing education.
8) The CA Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians acknowledges www.psychceu.com as approved providers on Continuing Education in the following response to our query:

You may use your BRN continuing education provider number on their course completion
certificates.
Section 2540.2(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations states:

Q. How
do I know if a course meets my State's requirements?
A. ALL
of our courses are accepted by the BBS, BRN, OH, NBCC, FL, TX and TX SBEPC !
We recommend that you check with your State Board of Licensing regarding
the number of online and independent ces that are allowed and the reciprocity
with the Boards that have approved us. Please
go to our page of continuing education links if you have questions about
your state or licensing board.
Q.
What is the difference between CEUs, CEs, Contact Hours, non-contact
training hours, etc.?
A. This is confusing! At times being a
continuing education provider seems like swimming in alphabet soup! Each group
seems to have its own terminology, one hour of continuing education for the
APA = ce
BBS = ceu
BRN = contact hour
APT = non-contact training hour
Q. What is the difference between online and self
study?
A. This also is confusing! The CA BBS states
that self-study courses are those in which you received the materials
as hard copy or as a text, and took the test with no online component.
All of our courses are designated as online because they have interactive
online tests and the PsychCEU Forum for discussion. As
long as you complete your test online it will now be counted
the same as a 'face-to-face' course, so you may take all 36 CA BBS required
units at www.psychceu.com,
even those with texts required. Please check with your state and licensing
board to see what applies to you!
Q.
What is the difference between online courses
and courses which require texts?
A. Online
courses are available online for immediate download; you
may download and print one copy of the material for your personal use. They
often have an optional text or hard copy which may be purchased.
Courses that require texts have post-tests based
upon reading the text; you will see this statement regarding these courses:
| This course consists of a post-test based upon reading the text. There is no online material to read. After you pass the post-test, you may print out your own certificate. |
Q. What
are optional texts?
A. Texts
are the hard copy of the material for the online courses, sent to you already
printed. Tax, shipping and handling charges will be added. (Please remember
the texts or hard copies are optional for online/Internet
courses.)
Q. Is all of the material needed to answer the test correctly included in the one download, how much time is required generally to complete the course. Can one retake the exam if need be...does that happen much?
A. Yes,
all of the material needed to pass the test is available in one download,
although many will find the links important reading as well. The 6 unit
class is expected to take about 6 hours, although, with self-study, some
people will go through the material very quickly, and others more slowly,
so it is impossible to predict how long it will take any individual to
complete the course.
You get two chances to pass the exam, with immediate feedback given. There
is a $10 Retake fee for each additional atempt to pass the course.
Q.
Can you tell me if there is a time limit on taking the test? How soon
do you know the results of the test? What do you do if you don't pass?
A. There is no time limit on taking the test,
but the secure line will log you out after 60 minutes, so we suggest that
you print out the post-test before reading the course material, and answer
it as you go along. You will have two chances to take the test, with immediate
feedback given after each attempt.
You will find out the results immediately, and be able to print out your certificate
right then!
Contact us, if for some reason you don't pass the course, and we will work
with you to help you get through it successfully.
Q. How
do I contact you?
A. Either e-mail
us or connect directly through our link. We also can be reached at
our toll-free number 1-888-777-3773; overseas callers please call 1-415-897-0067.
Q.
Can I trust you?
A. We hope so!! www.psychceu.com
has been is business for years, and count ourselves as the first company
to offer online and self-study courses. We started with our first course,
Sandplay, The Sacred Healing, back when the CA BBS decreed that licensed
therapists needed continuing education. We have sufficient resources to support
both direct and indirect program costs, including operational and nonoperational
expenses as well as current and expected financial liabilities
Q.
How do you choose your faculty?
A. We actively seek out experts in the field
to teach our courses, i.e. Jungian courses are written by Jungian analysts;
sandplay therapy courses are by teaching members of the International Society
for Sandplay Therapy, psychopharmacology courses by a professor of clinical
psychology, specializing in psychopharmacology, etc. In our self-study courses,
selection criteria includes that the course material is clear, clinically
relevant, accurate, ethical and well written.
We also work with the planning committee, our professional consultants, and
professional organizations for suggestions for faculty, authors, publications
and topics that would be clinically relevant for post-doctoral level psychologists
and postgraduate professionals within the fields of psychology, social work,
nursing and education.
Q.
How do you handle ethical content in your courses?
A. We do adhere to the American
Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists. Our
courses are carefully screened by the Planning Committee to adhere to APA
standards. We also require authors who compose Internet courses specifically
for us follow APA ethical standards.
Many of our courses contain case material, and may use the methods of qualitative research and analysis, in-depth interviews and ethnographic studies. The psychotherapeutic techniques depicted include play therapy, sandplay therapy, dream analysis, drawing analysis, client and therapist self-report, etc. The materials presented may be considered non-traditional and may be controversial, and may not have widespread endorsement within the profession. www.psychceu.com maintains responsibility for the program.
Q. How
do you ensure that these facilities are private enough to safeguard
the confidentiality of case materials or work samples being presented?
A. As we are concerned about access to psychologically
sensitive material on the Internet, all courses have a password protection
mechanism, requiring a login user name and a password, which is assigned
when the course is ordered.
In course material, all identifying material is changed to protect confidentiality.
If answers to post-test questions require discussion of clinical material,
we remind the student taking the course to change identifying material. In
addition, post-test questions are carefully constructed to allow discussion
of therapeutic themes, or countertransference material, rather than clinical
vignettes presented by the student.
Q.
What is
your Grievance Procedure?
A.
www.psychceu.com is
fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance
with the American Psychological Association's
Ethical Principles of Psychologists. www.psychceu.com will
comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory
in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment
of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance
with these standards will be the responsibility of the Program Committee
in consultation with our Psychologist consultants and the President
of www.psychceu.com 1.
If the grievance concerns an author, the
content presented by the author, or the style of presentation,
the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put his/her
comments in written format, or to call or e-mail the president.
The president will then pass on the comments to the author, assuring
the confidentiality of the grieved individual. |
Q.
How do accommodate for people with disabilities in your courses?
A. Our Internet courses are often written in large
font, for easier reading (and those of us with 'old eyes!') We strive to
have written material, or transcripts, available, should there be difficulty
hearing a video. All of our online courses can be purchased in an optional ‘hard
copy’
in the event that there are difficulties taking a course from the computer.
The lack of a time frame for course completion is helpful to those with
learning differences. We also use the “person with…” terminology
in our online courses, as advocacy for those with disabilities. (An example
of this is when we talk about a “person with a disability, rather
than a
‘disabled person’, as we believe the language with which we
communicate can be as vital as the content of what we communicate!) While
we currently only offer courses in English, we have worked with students
whose primary language is not English, to assist them in understanding
the material as needed.
We do adhere to the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists. Our courses are carefully screened by the Planning Committee to adhere to APA standards. We also require authors who compose Internet courses specifically for us follow APA ethical standards. Many of our courses contain case material, and may use the methods of qualitative research and analysis, in-depth interviews and ethnographic studies. The psychotherapeutic techniques depicted may include play therapy, sandplay therapy, dream analysis, drawing analysis, client and therapist self-report, etc. The materials presented may be considered non-traditional and may be controversial, and may not have widespread endorsement within the profession. www.psychceu.com maintains responsibility for the program and its content. |
