Entry into this level of training requires the approval and invitation of the CLM staff-trainers. The emphasis at this level of training is to provide “hands on” experience to the apprentice through observation of counseling sessions conducted by the CLM staff. The apprentice will then be encouraged to display their own counseling skills through conducting counseling under the observation of CLM staff-trainers. Evaluations and guidance will be provide to further develop the counseling skills of the apprentice.
The training required is individualized based on the trainee’s background, experiences in the counseling field and level of study attained. In general, a minimum of at least 12 weeks of full time on-site observation and training is required with intermittent follow-up observation and consultations for at least one year.
One-on-one teaching is provided for the trainee based on their individual needs. The practical needs of each apprentice will be addressed by the construction of an individualized training program.
