FAQ

TPCE is a continuing education program for psychologists, counselors, and other mental health professionals. We offer high-quality video courses you take online, anytime you want to. After watching your course’s video(s), simply complete the subsequent quiz successfully to earn your CE credits. If you do not need CE credits, the quiz is completely optional.

TPCE is primarily designed for psychologists and counselors. However, anyone is welcome to explore our course offerings and many of our courses appeal more broadly to life-long learners with an interest in human development and living their best life.

For people working in any helping profession, including social work, education, or health care, completing our courses may contribute toward your professional development or continuing education hours. Save your course outline and certificate of completion, and check with your licensing or certification board for specific requirements.

Not at all! TPCE courses are open to anyone, regardless of place of residence. Our approval as a sponsor of continuing education by the American Psychological Association (APA) is valid for all psychologists throughout the United States. Reciprocal sponsorship between the APA and the Canadian Psychological Association allows psychologists in Canada to benefit from our courses, as well.

If you live outside of the US or Canada, please check with your country’s licensing officials to determine if our courses qualify for credit.

Counselors: Our approval as a sponsor of continuing education by the American Psychological Association (APA) qualifies our courses to account for some or all of your continuing education requirements if you are licensed in Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin.

Yes! Many of our courses appeal more broadly to life-long learners with an interest in human development and living their best life. You are welcome to register for any of our courses and take any parts of the course(s) you choose. The quiz is required only to obtain CE credit.

CE credit requirements vary by location and profession.

TPCE courses are all original, high-quality video productions you can watch at any time. We produce all our content independently, free of advertising or biasing commercial sponsorships. Cheaper choices are often either webinars sponsored by advertisers and held at a particular time, or are merely articles you read. Neither of these options provides an actual course experience of value to busy professionals.

At TPCE, we want your continuing education to be an enriching experience, not a burden that has to be checked off your to-do list. Learn from the best, not the cheapest!

Yes! We are developing an annual membership plan that will provide you access to all of our course offerings for one year. We will be launching this option soon.

Course registration fees can be paid by credit or debit card (MasterCard, VISA, American Express, and Discover). 

Participants who register for a course but do not begin any work within the course are eligible for a refund at the discretion of TPCE staff. Participants seeking a refund must contact TPCE staff to begin the process. 

After registering, you will receive a welcome email that includes a link to access your course. 

The number of credits you will earn is listed on each course page, as well as in our overall course catalog. You will receive a certificate indicating the number of credits earned after successfully completing the course quiz. 

You will have five attempts to successfully complete the quiz. Completion of the course(s) with a post-test score of 70% (1-hour courses) or 75% or better (>1-hour courses) is required to receive continuing education credit; there is no partial credit.
