Psychologist CE hours calculator

It depends on the state: authored board rules range from 10 to 60 hours per cycle, with 40 hours per biennium the most common. Most boards also set an ethics or law minimum, and a growing number attach one-time mandates such as suicide-risk training. Enter your state's totals in the calculator, or look them up on the psychologist requirements by state page.

Not necessarily. A required category such as ethics counts on its own. You can reach the total and still be short on ethics, which is the single most common reason a renewal is rejected. That's why this calculator tracks ethics separately from your overall total.

Usually, but not always. Many boards recognize APA-approved sponsors outright, while others keep their own authorized-sponsor lists or add source-class conditions, especially for online and independent-study hours, which several states cap. The psychologist requirements by state page shows each board's provider and format rules.

This tool works from the numbers you enter, so treat it as an estimate. For board-sourced totals, ethics, and categories for your state, see the psychologist requirements by state page, which we keep current as boards change their rules.

Run the calculator once per license. Each state sets its own hours, ethics, and cycle, so a course that satisfies one board may not transfer to another. certification.app tracks each license and its deadline separately once you save your record.
