Impact CE’s distant learning courses meet qualifications for continuing education credit for psychologists as required by the State Board of Psychology.

30 credits needed by November 30 of every odd number year. Which shall include at least 3 contact hours per biennium in ethical issues, 2 hours per biennium in child abuse recognition and reporting (we do not offer a course that meets this requirement.), and 1 hour per biennium in suicide prevention.

15 CE credits in the licensing renewal period may be distant learning (online/homestudy) courses.

Up to 10 hours in excess of 30 from the immediately preceding biennium may be carried over to the next. However, this doesn’t apply to ethic requirements.

Impact CE, a service of CE Learning Systems, is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. CE-credit.com maintains responsibility for this program and its content. No provider number is listed because the APA does not issue a provider number.
