National Approval for School Psychologists

We are NOT an approved provider for NASP but you can earn CPD credits with Impact CE.

Formal structured programs are self-study programs developed and published to provide training in specific knowledge or skill areas, including, for example, NASP online modules. A test is typically given at the end of the program and often a certificate of completion is issued. This also could include a course taken on the Internet.

Informal self-study involves systematically studying a topic of interest by reviewing the literature and becoming familiar with the available resources. Included in this category are the reading of books, journals, and manuals; or reviewing NASP convention proposals. One hour of participation in either type: 1 CPD credit

Maximum credits: 40 CPD credits. Starting July 1, 2023, one may accrue all 40 hours from formal self-study opportunities, though can claim no more than 20 hours from informal self-study.

40 CPD credits may be earned with Impact CE, since our courses are considered self study programs. You should be able to answer “yes” to the following four questions about your selected course:

1. Did the activity enhance or upgrade my professional skills or add to my knowledge base?
2. Was the activity relevant to the professional practice of school psychology?
3. Did the activity fit into my personal plan for continuing professional development?
4. Did the activity go beyond the ordinary aspects of my employment?

75 hours of continuing professional development activities are required by the last day of the month in which your certification expires.
