Can I meet the CEU requirement through tape supervision, and other opportunities to maintain and deepen my clinical skills?

CEUs are awarded for attending programs which extend knowledge, or bring you up-to-date with recent advancements in the field.

However we would also like to recognize the work you do to maintain and deepen your clinical skills, through activities such as supervision. Will call these ICCs (Imago Clinical Credits). ICCs are equivalent in value to CEUs, so the total CEU requirement may be all CEUs, all ICCs, or any combination.

Activities which provide ICCs are not eligible for CEUs from any other professional institution.

You should contact Betty Williams at Training@Imagorelationships.org to notify her if you have fulfilled any of the following requirements to ensure your ICCs are registered.

How can I get approved to offer Imago CEUs for my training course or consultation?

If you are offering an Imago training, and wish to offer Imago CEUs to attendees, we have set up an application process. Because of the time involved to operate this process, we do need to charge a fee for these CEUs.

• Certified Imago Clinical Instructors may offer Imago CEUs for all Imago trainings they offer, and this is included in the fees they pay to IRI
• Certified Imago Consultants may offer Imago CEUs for consultation only. There are no additional fees payable to register these programs for Imago CEUs
• Certified Imago Advanced Clinicians, Imago Workshop Presenters or Certified Imago Consultants may apply to offer CEUs for a training:
• To qualify, the training must be primarily based on Imago clinical practice
• The training should include some specific expertise or experience, which would extend the teaching beyond the core imago work. Typical examples would be specialist knowledge on sex, addictions, parenting, in-depth theoretical knowledge which applies to imago practice, or gender issues.
• An application is required for each training you hold
• To apply please send a letter to Betty Williams ( training@imagorelationships.org ) including the following information:
• Description of training
• Number of hours
• Outline agenda, including how many hours are for each of didactic/lecture, group discussion, clinical demonstration.
• Date of training
• Your qualifications and specialist experience related to presenting this training
• Number of people expected
• The application should be received at least 6 weeks prior to the proposed training.
• The fee payable to IRI to cover our processing is $5 per person for each training, with a $50 minimum fee per application. The $50 fee is required with the application, prior to processing. Any additional fees will be payable before CEUs are awarded. You can pay by credit card by calling Betty Williams, or mail a check marked “Imago CEUs” to Imago Relationships International, 160 Broadway, Suite 1001, East Building, New York, NY, 10038. (Please note that this is intended to cover the actual cost of addition staff time required to administer this process, and is not expected to be a profitable to IRI. For regional groups, you may submit one application with a $50 fee to cover a bundle of several trainings by different presenters. This would enable you to cover an entire season for a single $50 application fee)
• The application will be submitted to the Professional Training and Standards Committee for approval, and we will endeavor to provide this within 4 to 6 weeks.
• If they do not accept your application we will provide a short note explaining why it does not meet the criteria. You may either re-apply, addressing the reasons we give for not accepting the application, or ask for a refund of 50% of the application fee.
