Psychologue CPD Requirements in Luxembourg

Psychologues in Luxembourg follow a CPD-based model rather than a fixed hour total. No mandated periodic continuing education. 'Psychologue' is a regulated profession in Luxembourg only in the access/qualification-recognition sense: using the title professionally requires a recognized university master's degree in psychology, with recognition handled under the general professional-qualifications regime (Loi du 28 octobre 2016 relative a la reconnaissance des qualifications professionnelles, transposing Directive 2005/36/EC). There is NO standalone statute creating a protected-title-with-CPD scheme for psychologists comparable to the psychotherapist law, and psychologist is NOT among the 'professions de sante' listed in the Loi du 26 mars 1992 (so the health-professions continuing-education framework does not apply to it). Consequently there is no legally required number of CPD hours or renewal cycle. Voluntary continuing development is promoted through the professional association (Societe Luxembourgeoise de Psychologie / SLP) and, for those who hold it, the EFPA EuroPsy certificate (EuroPsy requires evidence of CPD only for holders renewing that voluntary certificate, not by Luxembourg law).

Luxembourg does not mandate specific CE subjects for Psychologue beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.

Generally yes — Luxembourg does not require live or interactive hours for Psychologue, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: Not applicable (no statutory CPD scheme).

Clinical psychological activity that constitutes psychotherapy is separately captured by the psychotherapist authorization (Loi du 14 juillet 2015). Title protection derives from qualification-recognition rules, not from a health-profession licensing statute; there is no periodic re-registration or CPD audit for the psychologist title itself. EuroPsy (EFPA) participation is voluntary.
