Fluence is committed to ensuring that our students are able to receive as much Continuing Education credit as possible for our courses and programs, and has arguably the most robust accreditation coverage in the emerging psychedelic therapy space. We are committed to our each of student’s unique concerns in this area, and are constantly updating areas of coverage, which are outlined below. Hours of CE coverage are indicated on individual course pages. Please contact us if you have additional questions.
Overview
Fluence is an approved provider of APA CE, and NYSED CE for Psychologists, Social Workers, and LMHCs. For all our Fluence programs, CE for which Fluence is approved is included in the base price for all courses. If students meet the attendance requirements and complete an evaluation they will all receive a Certificate of Completion that will include all of our CE approvals. All certificates of completion will include CE hours for the course. Trainees who took a live/online course will receive a code number from an administrator once their attendance is verified, and can then access their Certificate of Completion. Trainees who took an on-demand course will not receive this code; they must complete all modules within the course to receive access to their Certificate of Completion.
Attendance Requirements
If students miss more than two classes, they do not qualify for CE. There is no partial CE credit or makeup credit for missed hours. The number of CE credits is based on the hours of learning time, with one hour = 1.00 CE credit. We have it built into our offering that students can miss up to two classes. For example, our Reading and Study Groups meet for 1.5 hours for 12 weeks, which would be 18 hours, but we offer 15 hours of CE for the course. For on-demand courses, students must complete all of the course content (the two classes rule is inapplicable).

We do not provide academic credit.
Based on our attendance policy and in compliance with APA guidelines, students must attend a certain number of hours of class to receive CE credit.
