Course Description

This presentation is intended to provide an overview of the licensing process for pre-licensees as they work toward licensure in marriage and family therapy. Topics to be discussed include: the marriage and family therapy licensing process; supervised experience requirements for applicants; supervisor qualifications and supervision requirements; licensing examinations; and common employment issues pre-licensees encounter with their supervisors.

• Identify the “options” for counting hours currently available to pre-licensees

• Apply how the 90-day rules impacts their ability to count hours

• Differentiate how to advertise themselves in the various stages of licensing

• Organize their hours by documenting on the correct BBS related forms
