Program Goals

Participants will gain a greater understanding of the many challenges facing pre-licensees working toward licensure.

Learning Objectives

1. Record the number of hours and the number of weeks of supervised experience required
2. Identify the “options” for counting hours currently available to pre-licensees
3. Apply how the 90-day rules impacts their ability to count hours
   Differentiate how to advertise themselves in the various stages of licensing
4. Organize their hours by documenting on the correct BBS related forms
5. Review their incremental progress toward licensure and decide on their best strategies to take to complete their 3000 hours
   

Measurable Learning Objectives

• Participants will understand how the BBS counts applicants’ supervised experience hours under the “Option 1” system
• Participants will be able to: a) distinguish between the two 90-day rules and the two six-year rules; and b) state how these rules impact the licensure process
• Participants will be able to identify the work settings in which MFT trainees and associates can accumulate supervised experience hours
• Participants will be able to identify the eligibility requirements for, and responsibilities of supervisors
