If CE is mentioned but your profession is not listed, please contact your board to confirm whether self-study is an acceptable option and to check for reciprocal approval.

Product Access

What is an online course?

Online courses are web-based, go-at-your-own pace courses.  There are no set times that you must be logged into the course, and you will have access to them forever.  Your payment for the online course includes the post-test(s) for the program.  The post-test(s) may be accessed by signing into your distance-learning account on catalog.psychotherapynetworker.org, clicking the green “Launch Online Course” button, and clicking the “CE Tests” or “CE Certificate” tab.  After you successfully complete the post-test online, you will able to download or email your Certificate of Successful Completion immediately.

Please note that for some professions, CE credits do have expiration dates.  This means that if your licensing board has a credit expiration date, you will need to complete the program before the credit expiration date. Please read the credit information for the program and/or check with your board to determine if a CE expiration date applies for your profession.

We’re sorry, but post-tests may not be purchased for additional participants.

What is the difference between digital seminars and online courses?

Online courses contain carefully selected content that is curated for the most advanced comprehension of an educational topic. All online course purchasers have access to exclusive member forums to engage with other professionals. Additionally, online courses may include exclusive live and/or pre-recorded Q&A calls with the presenter and bonus resources such as video downloads, worksheets, PDF downloads and more. For most courses, videos from the course may be downloaded directly to your computer or mobile device to watch at your convenience. The online course format may either offer self-study credit or a combination of live credit (interactive) and self-study credits (home-study/ independent).  This is considered a classroom format.

Digital Seminars are recordings from a live-location seminar. These are usually one-day or two-day events. Purchasers of a digital seminar will receive the program recording and the handout, but will not receive additional videos, bonuses, books, handouts, or chat forum.

Can I share the program I purchased with my colleague?

Additional Participant CE is available for all program types except online courses. You can verify that the program offers Additional Participant CE by viewing the program's webpage. If Additional Participant CE is offered, you will see it below the price of the event. If it is not listed, the product does not offer Additional Participant CE. 

If the online program offers Additional Participant CE, the Additional Participant CE test can be found by looking in the Additional Participant CE catalog.  Each additional participant will need to purchase the appropriate test for the course in which they participated.

Technical Issues

What do I do if my video is stuttering, buffering, or not loading?

Please try refreshing your viewer by clicking on the "Reload Video" button located at the bottom of your video viewer page.  Also try to close the viewer window and re-launch the viewer from your "My Account" page. 

The cache on your browser may need to be cleared, if you are unsure of how to clear your browser cache, an alternate and quicker option is switch to a different browser to continue viewing the program.  In you're using Internet Explorer, try switching to Google Chrome.  Other popular browsers such as Safari and Firefox are compliant with playback.  Switching browsers to Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox resolves the majority of playback issues.

If you are still having problems with your video, please contact us at psychotherapynetworker@ce21.com or (877) 602-9877.

What do I do if I can’t hear the audio?

Please try working through the following steps to troubleshoot audio problems:

1. Click the "Reload Video" button located at the bottom of the video viewer page.

2.  Open a new tab (CTRL + T in most browsers), go to youtube.com in the new tab, and play any video.  If you are unable to hear the audio of the YouTube video, the issue is with the audio settings on your device.

3.   Try closing the viewer tab, returning to your online account, and launching the viewer again by clicking the green "Launch Viewer" button under the title of the course.

4. Check your speakers:

a. External speakers:

  • Confirm speakers are plugged in and powered on.
  • Confirm the volume button is turned up on the speakers.
  • Confirm that the speakers are plugged into the correct port on the back of the computer.

b. Internal speakers: There is often a "mute" key on the keyboard for muting audio on laptops.  Try clicking the mute key and/or the volume UP key.

5. Check system volume:  There is a speaker icon next to the clock in the lower, right corner of the screen on Windows computers.  Please click the icon, and try to increase the volume level on your computer.

 

If none of these solutions work, please contact us at psychotherapynetworker@ce21.com or (877) 602-9877 for technical assistance.
