CE Sponsorship

The Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. SPA maintains responsibility for this program and its content. New this year, we have designed two different packages for you to select from, our Base Level and Enhanced Level packages are detailed below. If you have any questions please contact our office at info@personality.org. 

Packages 

*A month after the event, we will send the co-sponsoring partner the remainder of the event, a registration report with detailed information, and survey materials

Goals and Objectives 

Please provide the learning objectives for your event. At the end of the course, participants will be asked to evaluate whether they were met. When determining how many Learning Objectives (LO) should be established, the following guidelines should be utilized (please note that the quality and quantity should be considered of LO for all programs, particularly for those longer than 8 hours): 2-3 LO for 1-3 hours, 3-4 LO for 4-6 hours, 5-6 LO for 7-8 hours. For events over 8 hours, please provide an additional 1-2 LO for each two hours of instruction.

Please view this link from APA on writing the Behavior Learning Objectives and Assessments. The verbiage for the Learning Objectives need to follow these examples. 

Test Questions and Answer Key 

List 4-5 questions for half-day workshops and 9-12 questions for full-day workshops (ONLY 1 true/false question is allowed, multiple choice) that address the material to be learned in your presentation. These questions are for participants to assess their own learning. They will be used to make up the Participant Evaluation Form. Also, please provide a key to the correct answers at the end.
