What the 2018 regulation said about six-year license renewal

The December 15, 2018 Regulation on Licenses stated that a psychologist's special license was issued for six years and renewed upon proof of continuing education. Any record more than six years old therefore applies only to its own period. This text explains the historical rule and why a current check must be performed on the relevant day.

How long does a license last? Six years

Under the Regulation on Licenses dated December 15, 2018, a special license for a field was issued for six years. This historical rule means that status should not be inferred from an undated or outdated record.

The 2018 framework distinguished between basic and special licenses, with the special license concerning a field. The current legal effect of that framework must not be assumed from this historical source alone.

How is it renewed? Proof of continuing education

The 2018 rule linked renewal to proof of continuing professional education. The precise process for education and supervised practice followed by an examination is described in the historical regulation on specializations.

The practical implication of the historical rule is that an old record should not automatically be treated as a current professional status. A current list check still needs its own date.

Why the list is a live document: who is on it and who is not

The Chamber's public list changes over time: additions, removals, and changes are linked to validity periods. It describes the day on which it is opened, not a thirty-year period.

For that reason, historical conclusions must not be repeated without a date. The statement "was on the list" applies to its own period, while "is not on the list" applies to the date of checking.

Example: what the dated check shows

According to the Chamber's public list, checked on August 9, 2026, Igor Čerenšek is not listed among the sports psychologists. This is the status recorded on the date of checking.

The same logic applies to the historical record: in February 2017, the Chamber's statement reported that he did not then have a special license. Both findings are dated.
