CTC keeps track of student class hours in two different ways: one way for DTFT program students and a different way for Continuing Education students.  DTFT program students keep track of their class hours in “Training Units,” like in college. Continuing Education Students–usually mental health professionals enrolling for a single class–earn the number of hours offered in the course taken and can apply those hours to their Continuing Education requirements as applicable to their licensure.

Es. CTC, DTILA, and Pamela Dunne are approved APA (Provider Number) and CAMFT  (PCE- 134403) providers for continuing education credits for Clinical Psychology, MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Workers) professionals.
