Psychologists
Pepperdine University's Office of Professional Development is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Pepperdine University maintains responsibility for this program and its content. The California Board of Psychology approved changes to the MCE Regulations, which allow for courses offered by APA Approved Sponsors of continuing education to be automatically accepted without review. This allows Pepperdine's continuing education Professional Development courses to be automatically accepted for MCEP credit in California without review. This eliminates the need for MCEP approval numbers or submitted notices for each workshop. Psychologists are now obligated to report their attendance to our classes to the MCEP Accrediting Agency using the appropriate form and paying the required fee. Completion certificates are given to registered attendees at the end of each workshop. We would like to note that it is more cost efficient to submit all of your continuing education hours at the same time.
