Common Questions about CE for Colorado Psychologists
-
How many hours of continuing education (CE credits) does a Colorado psychologist need?
Colorado psychologists must complete at least 40 Professional Development Hours (PDH) as part of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) plan in each two-year license renewal cycle. For coursework taken to fulfill this requirement, no more than 5 hours can be through non-approved providers. (SimplePractice is considered an approved provider, as described below.)
-
Can I take my CE courses from SimplePractice Learning?

SimplePractice is an approved CE provider through APA, as described below, meaning that courses taken through SimplePractice Learning and offered under our APA approval meet Colorado requirements for coursework through approved providers. Final determinations of course eligibility are always up to the individual licensing board.
-
How many hours of Colorado psychologist CE courses can I complete online?
Colorado allows all CE coursework to be completed through APA-approved sponsors, and does not appear to place a cap on the number of CE hours that can be earned online.
-
What specific CPE courses do I need to take as a psychologist in Colorado?
Colorado psychologists must take an ethics course “offered by the American Psychological Association, state medical association, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, or a regionally accredited institution of higher education” in each license renewal cycle. While SimplePractice Learning ethics coursework can count toward the overall 40-hour requirement, it does not fulfill this specific requirement.
