Psychologists licensed in New Hampshire must complete 40 hours of approved continuing education (CE) every two years as a condition for license renewal. Of these, a minimum of 30 hours must come from Category A, which includes live, in-person seminars, workshops, or interactive webinars that promote professional competence. The remaining 10 hours may be completed through Category B, which includes less interactive or self-directed learning formats. As part of the required CE hours, psychologists must complete 6 hours in ethics, which must also be earned through Category A activities.

New Hampshire does not impose supervision-specific continuing education (CE) requirements for psychologists to become or remain postdoctoral clinical supervisors. Instead, supervisors must meet the same CE requirements that apply to all licensed psychologists to maintain an active license in good standing. Under NH OPLC Rule Psyc 402.02, psychologists must complete 40 total CE hours during each two-year license renewal cycle. Of these, at least 30 hours must be Category A (formally approved education), including a minimum of 6 hours in ethics, which must be completed in a live, interactive format. No more than 10 hours may be Category B, which includes informal or self-study activities. Licensees attest to CE completion at renewal and are subject to random audit by the Board. As long as these general CE requirements are met and the psychologist’s license remains current and unrestricted, no additional CE is required to maintain eligibility to serve as a clinical supervisor in New Hampshire.

To support psychologists in meeting New Hampshire’s CE requirements while strengthening supervisory competence, the Telehealth Certification Institute (TCI) offers APA-approved continuing education aligned with both Category A and Category B limits. For example, TCI’s 10 CE Clinical Supervision Training Bundle (self-study) is a practical way to fully utilize New Hampshire’s 10-hour Category B allowance with supervision-focused content such as supervision models, cultural competence, and foundational supervision skills. To meet the remaining Category A and live ethics requirements, psychologists can enroll in TCI’s live, interactive webinar courses, including ethics and supervision topics. For those seeking more comprehensive development, TCI’s Clinical Supervision Certificate Program and Individual Supervision CE Courses offer in-depth, supervision-focused education that supports best practices, strengthens supervisory skills, and deepens understanding of ethical and effective clinical supervision.
