We work with governing boards to ensure that CPI trainings meet the standards required so you can receive approval for continuing education credit.
At CPI, we maintain a variety of program approvals, accreditations, sponsorships, and providerships through numerous entities for continuing education. Each entity is governed by its own set of rules and policies, and uses its own terminology with respect to credits, hours, and units and how they are calculated.
We work with the various boards and licensing organizations so that they have the appropriate information and fees in order to recognize our training program as in compliance with their requirements.
Because CPI trains individuals from different countries, states, and professions, it’s not possible for us to apply to all licensing and certifying boards for continuing education approval. If you have any questions, please email ceu@crisisprevention.com.
If there is an organization you’d like to submit CPI training hours to, and it’s not listed here, please contact the organization directly and inquire about their requirements for recognizing trainings. Many organizations will simply accept the Certificate of Attendance that CPI issues to those who attend our training programs conducted by our staff of Global Professional Instructors. In some cases, organizations request copies of the course’s outline and training objectives. If you need copies of a program outline, please email ceu@crisisprevention.com.
CPI is continually reviewing the approvals, accreditations, etc., that we maintain. If you would like us to consider applying with a specific entity or organization, please email the name of the entity, along with pertinent contact information, to ceu@crisisprevention.com.
Generally, the approvals, accreditations, sponsorships, and providerships that CPI maintains are valid only for programs taught by our Global Professional Instructors. There are several exceptions—or Boards that will recognize trainings taught by Certified Instructors—which are noted within the detailed information about each Board below. If there is not an exception noted, contact the Board directly to inquire about their requirements for recognizing trainings.

You as a Certified Instructor can print contact hour verification letters for your participants. The process is automated in an effort to provide you with simplicity and convenience. Once a training is submitted under your Instructor profile, there is an option to print contact hour letters for your participants.
Please enter all training information carefully (training participants, expiration dates, etc.), as all letters are automatically generated and will reflect the submitted information. Errors will require the Certified Instructor to contact CPI’s Quality and Validation Department manually to have letters corrected. This also includes using nicknames and surnames. Once the training has been entered, the process for printing letters is:
Log in to your Instructor profile.
At this point you can print the letters, or save them on your desktop for email.
It is the responsibility of each participant to ensure that training meets the continuing education requirements of their respective board. The contact hour letters are not a guarantee for CEUs. Many licensing boards will approve training accepted by one of the many boards that have already approved the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training program content. If you have questions concerning training requirements, please contact a member of the specific board to find out if the training will meet their requirements for continuing education. Falsification of continuing education documentation is taken very seriously by licensing boards, and can result in a variety of penalties to include fines, loss of licensure, and criminal charges.
