Online CEU Courses For MFT Therapists Make Fulfillment A Snap

By Marissa Velazquez


Therapists have a variety of websites to choose from when searching out online CEU courses for MFT license holders. CEUs can be completed in an afternoon for a fee through online classes. Most states require these Continuing Education Units to maintain the MFT license. Whether working in social work, therapy, drug abuse and addiction counseling, or as registered nurses or LPNs, all of these health care workers can go to a website and fulfill their requirements.

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.

Take a look at the exam. Most of the sites offer the actual test for free, so it can be reviewed first. This allows the therapist to study to the test. The course is what costs money. If not, the site will show what will be covered in the course.

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.

Block out time, find the best site and search for the desired topics. The actual reading material will be available for review on the site. Then take the exam and have it scored. Passing grades are between 70 and 75 percent. A lot of the sites allow a retake of the test up to 6 tries, to avoid glitches and coax out a passing grade.

It might be good to point out that if time is a factor, study the test first and then peruse the web for general information to get the mind ready. Then, when time permits, log in to the website with the actual test and do the work. Most of these courses will be more like reviews for licensed marriage and family therapists, but the a quick review in advance can't hurt.

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.
