40hours / 2-year renewal cycle
No live / interactive hours required — all hours may be self-study
Mandated topics
  • Ethics or Law/Forensics — 2 hthe ethics course must include 'ethics' in the title
  • Multiculturalism or Diversity — 2 h

Home study: No numeric cap on home study. APA-approved home study and prerecorded workshops/conferences that meet the board's criteria count toward the full 40 hours; live, virtual and prerecorded formats are all acceptable and there is no minimum live/in-person requirement. There is also no longer any requirement to distribute hours across multiple content categories.

Board notes: Regulated by the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (LSBEP), LAC 46:LXIII. 40 CPD hours per 2-year reporting period, logged via the LSBEP portal; the reporting period that just closed ran July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026 (deadline June 30, 2026), and reporting is keyed to even/odd license numbers. Only 2 hrs ethics or forensics (the ethics course must have 'ethics' in the title) plus 2 hrs multicultural or diversity issues are mandated; no minimum live/in-person requirement. CHANGE: LSBEP license-renewal guidance now states 'There is no longer a requirement to report in multiple categories,' so the former rule that CE had to span at least 2 of the board's 9 content categories no longer applies.
