Online CEU Courses For MFT License Holders Make It Easier For Everyone

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.

Once a site has been chosen, take a look at the test. It is usually free so it can be used as a study guide. That way, MFTs can study directly from the test. What costs money is the actual reading. At the very least, a full outline of the course will be available.

The process is very straightforward. The format is simple: for one CEU or Continuing Education Unit, the person taking the course is required to sit in a class for one hour, or watch a video for the same time. Alternately, if the student reads four to five thousand words, that is sufficient.

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.

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.
