Some of our APA approved courses are not appropriate for this certification. It is the responsibility of the certificant to ensure that they take a course that falls into one of the eight designated knowledge areas.

The board offers the Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC)

Certificants are required to obtain 75 continuing education units (CEUs) within the 5-year certification period

Certificants also are required to ensure that of the 75 CEUs obtained, at least 6 CEUs are in each of the following required continuing education areas:
Professional ethics
Diversity
Mentorship/supervision (required for mentors only).

The content provided in eligible CEU activities must correspond to one of the eight designated knowledge areas as identified by the Job Task Analysis which are:
K1: Professional Ethics and Standards
K2: Sport Psychology
K3: Sport Science
K4: Psychopathology
K5: Helping Relationships
K6: Statistics and Research Methods

CEUs earned via attendance at professional activities held by nationally recognized organizations (i.e., APA, APA Div 47, ISSP, NATA, NCC, CSPA, etc.) will be accepted if they are clearly related to one of the 8 knowledge areas listed above.
