APA Office of CE Sponsor Approval — mapped mechanically, receipts included

Yardstick: Standards and Criteria for Approval of Sponsors of Continuing Education for Psychologists (August 2015)

For APA-approved CE sponsors. Send one course and ProveStead maps it against the published requirements — every finding keyed to the standard's own locator, every APA CE credit recomputed from the materials, and an honest "not evaluable" where the materials can't prove it either way.

The credit math, recomputed

1 APA CE credit = 60 minutes
We divided the program's stated instructional minutes by 60 (Criterion F.1: one APA CE credit per one hour of instructional time; credit is awarded only for actual instructional time) and compared the result to the CE credit the program awards.

You may be over-awarding APA CE credit — that's the headline check. If the numbers in your materials don't support the APA CE credits you award, the report says so, with the arithmetic shown.

Honest scope

Our Class-B catalog for this standard carries 28 requirement records — locators, headings, and our own paraphrases (never the standard's text). 12 are assessable from course materials; the rest are provider-process requirements (your records, oversight, and procedures) which the report marks not_evaluable — never guessed, never faked.

  • Every finding carries the standard's locator and recomputable arithmetic.
  • Absent input is reported as absent — a missing fact is never scored against you.
  • The deliverable is an audit-ready evidence file you can hand to a reviewer.

No approval implied. It implies no APA review, approval, or authorization: this report maps the course materials against the published APA Standards and Criteria mechanically and is not an approval determination. APA approval operates at the SPONSOR (organization) level, not the individual-program level — APA's Office of CE Sponsor Approval and Continuing Education Committee hold final authority over sponsor approval, and state psychology licensing boards are the final authority on courses accepted for licensure CE credit.
