How Does It Work?

All the training required for certification is offered in live, interactive, scheduled sessions, allowing optimal learning in a professional community. However, schedules may occasionally conflict, and if you miss a live session, you can substitute a variety of recorded courses available to you at no additional charge as a registered student.

Our Certification program is open to those who have completed their master's degree and are licensed and insured mental health professionals. Even if you're working towards these qualifications, you're welcome to start the coursework. However, a license is required to begin the supervision portion of the Certification requirement.
