We are looking for courses that are:

• relevant to psychological practice, education, and science, and that the content, level and research references offered in each course are suitable for continuing education for post-doctoral level psychologists.
• that the learning objectives are met
• that the content is of sufficient difficulty and complexity to address the needs of the post-doctoral psychologist
• that the author has expertise in the field in which he or she is writing
• that the post-test is of sufficient length, and accurately tests the students comprehension of the course material
• that the evaluation renders a fair and objective assessment of the course content, learning objectives, and post-test
• that the number of units offered accurately represents the number of hours of study necessary to complete the course
• that the courses include content related to well-established psychological principles, or are based on content that extends current theory, method, or practice, or that program content has obtained credibility, as demonstrated by the involvement of the broader psychological practice, education, and science communities in studying or applying the findings, procedures, practices, or theoretical concepts;
• that program content has been studied according to established procedures of scientific scrutiny that can be reasonably relied upon;
• that program content has peer reviewed, published support beyond those publications and other types of communications devoted primarily to the promotion of the approach;
When we offer books as courses, the guidelines we use are to choose books by experts in the field, or by those who have years of clinical expertise in the topic upon which they are writing. We contract with experts whenever possible; Jungian courses are written by Jungian analysts, sandplay therapy courses by teaching members of the International Society of Sandplay Therapists, play therapy classes by Registered Play Therapist- Supervisors, etc.

All faculty must sign a statement that they will abide by the ethical code of the American Psychological Association.

Please send an e-mail with your idea for a course and your credentials to info@psychceu.com

If we are interested, and there is a need for your course, we will ask for submission of the entire work, which will go to the Program Planning Committee for evaluation. If we accept your course, we will pay you for it; either as a one time payment or a percentage of sales.
