Type of Credit Available: 

• CE credit for psychologists 

CE credit is available for psychologists for live and select recorded sessions (not all recorded sessions eligible, look for "Psychologists - Recorded" tag on session pages for confirmation, as well as the existence of a post-test, which is required for earning CEs for recorded viewing).

To earn credit for watching RECORDED sessions, you must watch the complete session and successfully pass a quiz with a 75% or higher score. You must complete and pass the required post-test quizzes by 30 October, at the latest.

Certificate with Number of Hours Attended

As an alternative to a CE certificate, some credentialing agencies (please check with yours) may accept a certificate with the number of hours attended. This requires that an individual verifies their attendance by signing in and out of each session that they attend during the event. The certificate will only include the hours of the sessions you attend LIVE during the conference (any recordings you watch will NOT be included). The cost for this type of certificate is €10.

Not sure if you need CEs?

Check with your licensing agency, and/or sign in/out on the yellow sheets provided, and you can determine your eligibility immediately after the event (still adhering to the evaluation deadlines mentioned above). If you do not scan or sign in/out, or complete necessary evaluations by the deadline, that cannot be “corrected” later.

Information about the CE Process

CEs or certificates with the number of hours attended are available for a one-time fee for the entire event.

CE rules require that we only issue credits to those who attend the entire session. Those arriving more than 15 minutes late or leaving before the entire session is completed will not receive CE credits.

Evaluations will be available, but are not required to earn CE credits.

For those earning CEs for BCBAs, we will email you a printable copy of your certificate by 28 September.
For those earning CEs for psychologists, CE certificates with the total of your live credits will be emailed to you by 28 September. CE certificates with the total of your recorded session credits will be emailed to you by 25 November.

All certificates are sent via SimpleCert, so check your email for "certificates@simplecert.net".

For those attending in-person, in Cyprus 24-28 July:

Please remember to scan in and out at the beginning and end of each session using our scanner system. If there is a problem and the scanners are not working, please make sure to sign in and out on the yellow attendance sheet provided. We cannot give CE credit if you do not scan/sign in and out.

Please DO NOT SCAN in and out for coffee/tea breaks. CE credits are NOT available for IGNITE sessions, Chapter/SIG/Committee meetings, or other lunch time sessions.

Fees:

A €60 fee will be required to earn CEs. If you attend either a pre-conference workshop(s), World Conference, or both, only €60 is due. If you register for multiple events separately, please only pay the fee one time. This fee is non-refundable (unless you cancel your registration in its entirety before the cancellation deadline). Attendance verification (sign in/out) and evaluations also may be required.

The cost for a certificate indicating only the number of contact hours (not a CE certificate) is €10.

Refunds & Grievance Policies: Participants may direct any questions or complaints to ACBS Executive Director Emily Rodrigues, acbs@contextualscience.org, or through the Contact Us link on this website.

• CEs are only available for events that qualify as workshops, symposia, invited lecture, panel discussion, or plenary sessions. Poster sessions, IGNITE sessions, sessions shorter than 1 hour, Chapter/SIG/Committee meetings, and some other specialty sessions do NOT qualify for Continuing Education credit.
• (Note: CE credits are only available for those registered as a professional. You may not earn CE credits with a student registration.)
