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.

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

• Record the number of hours and the number of weeks of supervised experience required
• 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
• Review their incremental progress toward licensure and decide on their best strategies to take to complete their 3000 hours.
