Renewing CE provider approval
CPA OPD PAS - one approval for three licensing boards
The California Psychological Association's Office of Professional Development reviews CE providers through their Provider Approval System (PAS). There is a one-time fee for applying to be a CE provider and an annual fee, based on the number of courses offered during the year. As a non-profit offering a small number of courses, MHWA has paid $400 annually.
As of January 2017, both the BBS and the BRN accept continuing education hours provided to their licensees by CPA OPD approved continuing education providers. More info here and here.
MHWA's 5-year approval by the CPA OPD expires in March 2018. A new application MUST be submitted prior to November 30, 2017, in order to be re-approved by the time our current 5 year approval expires in March 2018. The application and supporting materials are available through the link above; ensure you have the latest version. It may be possible to use much of the descriptive text from the February 2013 application for the renewal. The OPD staff have been supportive and helpful and have, in the past, been willing to review application drafts and give (very) specific feedback.
