FAQs

What is CONCEPT Continuing & Professional Studies?

CONCEPT Continuing & Professional Studies is committed to excellence and to providing continuing, graduate-level education to professionals throughout their careers. Rather than simply providing continuing education (‘CE’), we provide premium professional training; different from typical ‘CE’ in that it offers both breadth and depth of coverage in specialty topics, developed and delivered by experts on that topic.CONCEPT is an approved CE provider for psychologists (APA, CPA, BPS), counselors (NBCC), social workers (ASWB) and allied professionals.

We also share practical tips through our curated blog series - The Business of Practice - focusing on career development and guidance.
