PESI review
Live, on-demand and in-person learning with course-specific credit details and certificates.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PESI provides continuing education for behavioral health, healthcare and rehabilitation professionals, including nurses, physicians, therapists, counselors and social workers. Its catalog spans live webinars, on-demand courses, virtual events, digital seminars, workshops and in-person conferences. Learners can find course-specific continuing-education credit details, complete an evaluation and receive a certificate. The range suits professionals who want different ways to learn, and organizations seeking training for teams rather than a single format or audience.
Course-level credit information is important to evaluate before enrolling: approvals vary by course and profession, so a course’s applicable credits should be checked against the learner’s licensing-board requirements. The PESI mobile app supports course playback, offline downloads, downloadable handouts, evaluations and certificates. This combination gives learners options for viewing material on mobile and completing course steps, while the credit variation means PESI is not a substitute for verifying whether a specific course meets a particular professional requirement.
PESI sells individual trainings and offers organizations group training, site licenses and a custom educational portal with a curated library and monthly usage reports. According to the vendor’s pricing information, organizational arrangements are custom-priced rather than offered as one published subscription price for the overall service; there is no persistent free product plan. That structure may fit teams that want a tailored learning library and reporting, while buyers seeking a fixed, transparent subscription should compare alternatives. Individuals can choose courses separately, but should check each course’s credits and terms before purchase.
