Continuing Education Questions

For free access to our continuing education, you must be an actively credentialed member of the National Register. You also need a computer, an internet connection, and a printer (if you need).

Some courses are available to non-Registrants at a fee. To create an account, visit CE.NationalRegister.org and click the “Not a member?” button underneath the login fields. You’ll need to provide your first name, last name, email address, and degree before clicking the “Create Account” button.

Yes! CE credits earned through the National Register meet the standards for acceptable CE credit in states, territories, or provinces that require continuing education credits for renewal of license. The National Register has offered CE credits to Registrants for many years and became an APA-approved sponsor of continuing education on April 1, 2003.

  4. You’ll navigate the site using the menu on the left side of the screen.

  1. NR Publication Courses.
    1. Click the item on the left-side menu, “NR Publication Courses.” You will see a list of subject categories in purple bars. Each category can be clicked on for a drop down list of courses. For example, if you click “Integrated Healthcare” you will see a drop down listing of our courses in that area of study.
    2. If you see a course you are interested in taking, click the gold “Add to My Courses” button that appears beneath the course information.
      1. If you do not wish to take the course right away, you’ll be able to access that “Saved Course” at a later time. All saved courses are available on the “My Courses” page, accessible using the left-side menu and as the first page you see after logging in.
      2. If you’d like to take the course right away, wait a few seconds until the option changes to “Added to My Courses” and then turns teal and reads “Take Course.” Follow the directions below to take a course.
  2. Click the item on the left-side menu, “Video Courses.” You will see videos offered through our Integrated Healthcare Training Series.
    Non-Registrants can purchase individual videos or may purchase an all-access pass to Video Courses. All purchases are for one year of access.

    Each publication must be purchased separately on Hogrefe Publishing’s website.

    2. On the last question, a “Finish Exam” button will replace the “Next” button on the right. Click this to submit your answers.
  7. Your exam is scored and the number of questions you answered correctly is immediately reported. In order to maintain the integrity of our CE program, we are unable to release answers or indicate which questions were answered incorrectly.
  8. Whether you pass or fail, you are required to complete an evaluation form on the course. We will follow up if further information is needed based on your evaluation responses.
    1. If you pass the course, your certificate of completion will automatically show up in “My Certificate Library” after you complete the evaluation form.
    2. If you fail the course, you will be directed back to “My Courses” following the evaluation, where you can take this exam again, take another exam, or navigate elsewhere on the site. You may take each exam two times.
  1. Also on the left-side menu is “My Certificate Library.” This link will direct you to a log of all your certificates from courses taken on CE.NationalRegister.org. For active Registrants only, this will also include ones that you’ve uploaded from elsewhere.
  2. Your certificates are organized by year. Click each year to view a drop down listing of all courses taken for that year.
  3. To filter your certificates by date and/or by subject area, select a category and/or enter dates into the light purple box above the year listings.
  4. To download individual certificates, click the “Download” option in purple text that appears on the far right of each course listing. This will open up a new internet tab with your certificate for you to print or save to your computer.
    1. If you’re having issues downloading and saving your certificates, check to see if you need an updated PDF reader, such as Adobe Reader (https://get.adobe.com/reader/)

Under “My Certificate Library,” there are a couple of options to view your displayed courses. By default, all CE courses are split into sections based on year the course was taken.

  1. If you would like to view results for CE you have for Ethics or Legal Issues, for example, use the drop down menu under “Select Category” to make your selection and click the “Filter” button to view all of your CE for that particular category. The results will still be sectioned based on year the course was taken.
  2. If you would like to view results for CE you completed within the past year, for example, use the “Start Date” and “End Date” fields and click the “Filter” button. The results will still be sectioned based on year the course was taken.
  3. To view a listing of your CE in a Microsoft Excel file, click the “Download Report” button and open the file. The report will reflect any filters you have applied, or will display all course information if no filters have been applied.
