Practicum Requirements
In order to successfully complete this program, you must complete your 40 hour practicum requirement in one of two ways:
1.) In-person at an APL sponsored practicum or at a licensed service center in Oregon with whom you have made arrangements for practicum. APL guarantees your ability to complete practicum through its practicum dates but cannot guarantee the availability or the cooperation of licensed service centers in Oregon for independent practicum placement.
If you cannot attend the APL Practicum dates, you have up to 1 year from your cohort start date to satisfy your practicum requirement by enrolling in and paying for practicum training with another service center or training program that has an established relationship with APL. APL makes no guarantees or assurances that those opportunites will be available, practical, affordable, or feasible. Therefore, you should plan to attend the APL practicum dates for your cohort in order to ensure your ability to successfully complete this course. You CANNOT complete the course without attending IN PERSON practicum either with your cohort or through another approved organization within 1 year of your program start date.
2.) Alternative Practicum provides the opportunity for students in Colorado to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness in other ways besides observing or participating in organizaed facilitation. Additionally, alternative practicum can be completed wherever you are located and therefore does incur additional costs for travel, lodging, and practicum fees. Please make sure to read the details of alternative practicum on APL's website if you plan to use this option to satisfy your practicum requirement
