The Committee is composed of five members appointed by the Education and Training Committee, including the chair of the Education and Training Committee who will sit as an ex-officio member of the CE Sponsor Review Committee. The committee is representative of geography, gender, major fields of psychology, and expertise in the area of continuing education. Two members are appointed annually for a term of two years. The CE Sponsor Review Committee is bound by the criteria and standards specified in this document and submits an annual report to the chair of the CPA Education and Training Committee. Approval of a CE sponsor can be either full approval or provisional approval.
Full approval is granted to applicants who meet the criteria and is given for a three-year period.
Renewal is then granted for a period of five years once the organization has successfully completed the three-year period. Provisional approval may be granted to organizations who do not meet all the criteria stated in this document. Provisional approval is for one year after which the organization may apply for the full approval. In the instance where approval of an individual CE activity is given for the particular activity only, such approval does not apply to other CE activities which may be sponsored by the same organization. Such review may be initiated by sponsors themselves, or by the CE Sponsor Review Committee.
