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 September 22, at the latest.
CE certificates with the total of your live credits will be emailed to you by August 5. CE certificates with the total of your recorded session credits will be emailed to you by October 15.
The Association for Contextual Behavioral Science is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The Association for Contextual Behavioral Science maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
- CE credit for BCBAs is available for select events
- CE credit for social workers from the National Association of Social Workers (NASW)
- CE credit for counselors from the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC)
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 $12 USD.
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 for people earning CEs for psychologists, counselors, or BCBAs. NASW CE earners, completion of a short evaluation AND verification of session attendance is required before CE Credits can be awarded (for each session). CE evals must be completed by July 5.
For those attending in-person, in San Francisco June 14-19:
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 $65 USD fee will be required to earn CEs. 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 $12.
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.)
