Online CEU Courses For MFT Therapists Make Fulfillment A Snap

By Marissa Velazquez


MFT license holders can choose from a plethora of websites to get online CEU courses for MFT license maintenance. These Continuing Educations Units must be taken by practitioners in most states to extend their licenses. Drug abuse and addiction counselors, social workers and other therapists, nurses and nurse's aids all need to do this work. They can log into any of these sites and do the work and sign off.

Those working in therapy, social work or health care will need to guarantee that the class meets the requirements for their state. Search the degree type and the state in a search engine and a list of possible sites will appear. Look out for sites that seem to offer everything. They may have a lot, but look further to be sure the correct class is actually available.

Review the topics that are available. Many sites serve many needs, so they may have everything from human resources to psych techs. They can have a dizzying array of options. In counseling, there will be classes that address issues around sexuality, gender identity, sex and society and sexual healing. There can be addiction counseling as well as issues in addiction and therapy. Partner and elder abuse, violence in the home and further topics can be had.

After deciding on the site, go over the exam. A lot of the sites offer the test for free, so the therapist can use the test as the guide. It's the course that costs the actual fee. And if this is not the case, the site will have some kind of outline for perusal.

The actual class is very simple. A person needing one CEU or Continuing Education Unit will need to take a one hour class or see a video of equal length. Since most of these sites are about literature review, the minimum requirement is 4,000 to 5,000 words. This equals about thirty pages in a book or 4 pages of a journal.

Since this process occurs on the web, the process couldn't be simpler. Carve a few hours out for the whole process and find the appropriate site. Research that the topics that need to be covered are there. All the reading necessary will be available on the site itself. The passing score is generally seventy to seventy-five percent.

At this time, it is good to mention that if there is a time crunch, look over the test in advance. Use it to do a cursory search of the web and find general information about the topic to familiarize with the topic. After the hours for a full review become available, then log into the website, using the test as a study guide, and go through the literature. While good prep for most therapists, these classes are usually have little new material to cover.

Quick and easy, online CEU courses for MFT licensees save time, money and hassle. It is no longer necessary to block out days of travel for a visit to some random hotel where there may only be one or two classes relevant to the therapist. In the quiet of home or in the therapist's office, these classes can be researched, studied and completed online and removed from the pile of work that is on the desk.
