Home Study Programs

CEs and EMDRIA CEs available for all programs.
These programs are co-sponsored by R. Cassidy Seminars.


The Home Study Program fees are for the exam and CEs only. Each program's "training materials" is a book that may also be purchased on this web site.

When you register for a Home Study Program, you'll have the option of completing the test questions on line, off line (still checking off your answers on a computer file, which you'll then e-mail in), or on a hard copy (checking off your answers with a pencil, which you'll then s-mail in).

You'll receive credit for the program after you complete the exam with at least 75% correct. If needed, a re-take is free. (An additional re-take would cost $15.)
