Our Continuing Education Provider Program

We provide CEs/CEUs (and the certificates) to many places both large and small, such as Alzheimer's Foundation, Brain Injury Association, Epilepsy Foundation, MA Public Health Association, Jewish Federation, HMO's, small and large practices and individuals seeking to offer CE credit for their programs and presentations.

It is less expensive and eliminates paperwork for you or your place of practice, since we are national providers. This is a very popular program. It is called Continuing Education Credit Provider Program (CECP).

We are happy to provide references from many organizations.

We are nationally accredited to offer CE/CEU credit for the following participants/professionals:
 
  • Psychologists (APA)
  • Social Workers (ASWB)
  • Marriage and Family Therapists
  • Licensed Mental Health Counselors (NBCC)
  • Professional Counselors (NBCC)
  • National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC)
  • Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC)
  • Nurses
  • Registered Dietitians (CPE)
  • Massachusetts Licensed Drug and Alcohol Abuse Counselors (LADC: I-III) (NAADAC)
  • Massachusetts Nursing Home Administrators
  • Massachusetts Educators
 

You determine, collect and keep all attendance fees. Or you do not have to charge attendees at all. By offering CE credit from us, you will naturally attract more attendees. This has also proven very valuable for in-service training, Grand Rounds, outreach programs, etc.

------------------------------------------

Alternately, if you have ever considered

presenting your own program, this is the time.


Our service is for individuals and organizations across the board, from hospitals, to residential facilities, non-profit foundations, clinics and individual speakers.

We have done the hardest work for you!

The reason that most practitioners or organizations do not attempt to offer continuing education credit to attendees is because of the thousands of dollars in costs, the enormous amount of time, staffing and the paperwork involved.

Now, you can take advantage of our efforts. We save you all the work and money.

Our services for all above CECP programs include the following:


1. We review your program's content and objectives.
