The Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) is pleased to offer web-based continuing education opportunities for psychologists that also may be of interest to students of psychology, to members of other disciplines, and to the public. These courses complement CPA’s other knowledge-transfer activities, such as its three journals, annual convention, and publications program.
Notice to psychologists registered in Quebec: The continuing education (CE) hours approved for CPA’s online courses (other than the course on Starting and Operating an Independent Professional Practice) will be recognized by the OPQ for CE in psychotherapy. The OPQ has confirmed for us that because the internet server which hosts our online CE courses is located outside of Quebec, prior approval is not required from the OPQ. In order to claim CE hours for an online course, participants should ensure that they keep a record of proof of their participation (i.e., receipt of payment and certificate of completion).
