General Questions

What are Continuing Education credits?

Continuing Education (CE) credits are a requirement for many licensed professionals to maintain their licenses or certification by continuing to receive training in their fields after completing a degree.

Are all courses at SarahPeyton.com eligible to receive continuing education credit?

Most of the live courses on SarahPeyton.com are eligible for CE credits, and you can find each course’s CE information on its webpage. If you have questions about whether a course is eligible to receive CEs, please email [email protected].

Which Continuing Education providers are Sarah Peyton’s classes sponsored by?

Centered Therapy Chicago (CTC) is an accredited CE provider by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (Lic #268000085). CTC is able to provide CEs to licensed psychologists, social workers (LSWs and LCSWs), and counselors (LPCs and LCPCs) in the state of Illinois.*

* For licensed professionals outside of the state of Illinois, you must ensure that your state accepts CE credits from agencies accredited by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).

Often there is reciprocity available for professionals in other states. We encourage you to reach out to your state’s licensing board to inquire if they will accept courses sponsored by CTC or CCA.

Would you be willing to let us know if you find out that your state accepts our coursework?! This will support us to expand our reach towards licensed professionals. We’ve heard from both recipients and our licensed provider friends how much resonance enhances their experiences and their work.

Continuing Education rules can be strict and are set by state licensing boards. We provide this information to help you determine if you meet their criteria and to support you to receive credits if possible. It is your responsibility to be familiar with the criteria and ensure that you meet them. Your eligibility for CEs or other professional credits depends on your state licensing board and meeting the specific attendance and other requirements for your training.

Which courses are sponsored by CCA and by CTC?

 Courses and webinars that are sponsored for CEs by CCA are:

I’m not a psychologist or social worker but would like to receive continuing education credit for these amazing classes. What can I do?

We regret that at this time we are unable to offer continuing education credits for teachers, educators, coaches, nurses, and other professions.

Some licensure boards may offer reciprocity. If you are licensed with another professional board, you are responsible for appealing to your professional governing body for acceptance of our coursework for continuing education credits.

An administrative fee of $10 is required. It is your responsibility to submit all other forms and materials your professional governing body requires.

We will issue your certificate within one month of your request.

I have a different question about continuing education credits. Who can I ask?

Please first thoroughly read through this page. If you don’t see an answer to your question, send an email to our team and we will get back to you as soon as possible (hopefully within one week). We are a small team that is dedicated to giving you prompt responses, and sometimes we may not be able to reply immediately. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Who qualifies for CTC Continuing Education (CE) Credits?

CTC is able to provide CEs to licensed psychologists, social workers (LSWs and LCSWs), and counselors (LPCs and LCPCs) in the state of Illinois.

What are the prerequisites for obtaining CTC CEs for Sarah’s eligible courses?

  1. Make sure you meet the specific licensing requirements for CTC.
  2. CTC requires 100% live class attendance for certification. Ensure that you are able to fulfill these attendance requirements.

What is the process for obtaining a CE certificate with CTC, once I know I will meet all of the prerequisites?

1) Complete the CE request form by the deadline stated in the course materials. The CE request form will be emailed to you in your course registration welcome email and will also be in your course’s classroom.

  • For constellations webinars and weekend intensives, the deadline to complete the course request form is typically the day before the course begins.
  • For multi-week courses, this is typically one week before the course ends.

2) Pay the CE fee at this link here by the deadline stated in the course materials.

  • This is typically the last day of class; however, you may pay anytime starting from when you submit your request form. We appreciate the extra time to track payments.

3) Fill out CTC’s course evaluation form by the deadline stated in the course materials.

The course evaluation form will be made available to you on the last day of class via email. Here are instructions for how to access it:

  1. Click on the evaluation link, and this will take you to the CTC Training Center website. Before you can “enroll” in the course, you will need to create an account with CTC first (just for your first course, and it’s free).
  2. Once you have created an account, you can hit the link to the evaluation again and enroll in the course.
  3. Once enrolled, hit “Complete and Continue” after the first welcome screen, and that will begin the evaluation. (Please note: there is no “back” button, so once you complete each evaluation questions you will not be able to go back to edit it.)
  4. Download your certificate once the evaluation is complete. The CTC evaluation link must be completed by the deadline stated in class, 2 weeks after the last day of class. CTC will neither accept CE certificate requests nor provide CE certificates after this date.

I am taking a course that was approved by a prior sponsor (CCA). What do I do to make sure I receive continuing education credit?

Prior to summer 2024, continuing education credits through SarahPeyton.com were sponsored solely by Chicago Counseling Associates (CCA), We are so grateful for our 2+ years of partnership with CCA! In summer 2024, SarahPeyton.com began the transition from CCA to CTC (our new continuing education sponsor). We are committed to ensuring that all participants who request continuing education credit receive the appropriate certificates. If you have questions about how this will impact your CE credit application, please email [email protected].
