Can Psychologist CE be completed online in New Brunswick?
Generally yes — New Brunswick does not require live or interactive hours for Psychologist, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: Self-study (reading professional journals, the Code of Ethics, bylaws, legislation, CPNB/CPA or other professional publications) is capped at 10 of the 20 hours per year (Rule 2.03.01). 'Support in advancing the profession' activities (committee work, professional supervision, publications, presentations) are also capped at 10 hours per year (Rule 2.03.03). 'Direct participation' (lectures, workshops, conferences, peer consultation, Indigenous cultural safety training) can supply up to the full 20 hours (Rule 2.03.02)..
What else should Psychologist renewals know in New Brunswick?
Registrants must earn 20 continuing-education credit hours each calendar year (Rule 2.01); the cycle is annual, not multi-year. CPNB performs random audits every year, and non-compliance leads to removal from the register, with restoration requiring proof of completion plus a reinstatement fee ($500 first occurrence, $1,000 subsequent). Non-practising, retired, interim and student members are exempt from audit. No specific number of ethics hours is mandated; ethics reading counts within the self-study category.
