Continuing Education Certificates In The Palm of Your Hand
Things like cassette tapes, flip phones, and printed maps should be left back in the 90’s and 00’s – along with printing, filing, and finding some way to organize your education certificates. Of course, as a mental health practitioner, you should be proud of your credits received through live seminars and courses completed in furthering your expertise, but you certainly shouldn’t be celebrating these moments flipping through files in the attic. It’s time to jump on the contactless trend of 2021 and store your continuing education certificates for license renewal on the CE Hub App.
What Is the CE Hub App?
The CE Hub App is a mental health professional’s (PsyD, PhD, MFT, LCSW, LPCC) personal assistant extraordinaire. It stores all of your continuing education certificates in one place, calculates your credits and credit requirements based on your state so that when it’s time to renew your license, you’re good to go with all of your necessary documents in the palm of your hand.
While the CE Hub app is available from as little as $4 per month, we get that you’d probably like to see it in action first. So here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the CE Hub App and all of its features.
How to Use The CE Hub App
Step 1: Download and Create Your Account
Download the CE Hub App directly from the App Store.
Click ‘Create Account’ and fill in your details. You will have to fill in your state, select your license type, and enter your license number so that the app can track your credits for license renewal. You’ll also be required to enter a password to ensure that your continuing education certificates are safely stored. You’ll then receive an email to confirm your account before returning back to the app to login with the same details you submitted during registration.
Step 2: Upload a Continuing Education Certificate
You’re now ready to start the process of storing your continuing education certificates – and it’s as easy as it looks. All you have to do is fill in:
- The title of your course.
- Credits completed.
- Category of credit earned.
- Date completed.
- Was it a live course?
After you’ve filled in all the details, click on the ‘Capture Certificate’ button which will automatically cue your phone’s camera to ‘scan’ your certificate for safe, simple storage on the app. After taking a photo of your certificate you’ll be asked if you’d like to keep the certificate – this helps if you’re not the best at taking photos and want to do a retake.
Once you’re happy with the certificate scan, click the ‘Save Certificate’ button at the bottom of the page and voila you’re almost done!
Step 3: Updating Your License Requirements
You’ll be required to include the following:
- Indicate your profession.
- Which state you’re practicing in.
- Total number of credits required for licensure.
- Specific category required.
- Specific number of credits required.
- Live seminar credits required.
- Current license cycle – when it begins and ends.
Once you’ve filled in your licensing requirements, CE Hub generates a pie chart showing you how many certificates you’ve earned.
Step 4: Access Your Continuing Education History
You’ll also have access to your history of certificates uploaded with drop-down menus allowing you to see even more information.
You can then also open up your certificates as pdf documents, so no more searching through filing systems and remembering where you put it. You also have the option to email yourself within the app if you need a hard copy of the certificate.
Step 5: Send Through Feedback, Suggestions or Comments
Have suggestions or comments? Of course, we’d love to hear from you which is why we’ve added these features to the app. We’re always looking for ways to improve your user experience as we too are mental health practitioners and we know just how important this process is.
We also are active on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn so if you’d like to get social with us give us a follow and we’d love to have you join our online community of mental health practitioners and like-minded people.
