How many CPD hours does a Marriage & Family Therapist need in France?
Marriage & Family Therapists in France follow a CPD-based model rather than a fixed hour total. Marriage and family therapy is NOT a distinct, statutorily regulated profession in France. There is no MFT license, protected title, register, or governing board. Couples/family therapy is practiced under the protected titles 'psychologue' or 'psychotherapeute' (or by physicians), and any relevant rules follow those professions. Consequently there is no statutory CPD mandate specific to MFT.
Are there required CE topics for Marriage & Family Therapist in France?
France does not mandate specific CE subjects for Marriage & Family Therapist beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.
Can Marriage & Family Therapist CE be completed online in France?
Generally yes — France does not require live or interactive hours for Marriage & Family Therapist, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: Not applicable - profession not regulated.
What else should Marriage & Family Therapist renewals know in France?
No French statutory recognition of MFT as an independent regulated profession; practitioners rely on the psychologue/psychotherapeute frameworks or private-association training. Included here only to record that it is unregulated.
