Q: Is this course approved by Texas BHEC, LPC, or LMFT licensing boards? 

A: There is long answer to this:

In 2019 the law requiring courses to be taught only by approved providers was eliminated. Now, neither the LPC nor the LMFT board approves CE providers.

LPC and LMFT rules require that 50% of CEs come from designated sources. Two of those sources are national organizations and LPC Supervisors. In addition to being a NBCC approved provider, Dr. Walker is a LPC and LMFT Supervisor.

Q: Is this course considered online, live, interactive, asynchronous?

A: This course is asynchronous.

Q: How long do I get to finish this course?

A: The course is yours forever once you purchase it. Please note that a course will be removed from the Kate Walker Training website when its update is generated (usually around January of a new year). Your course won't be removed from your profile though.

Q: When I purchase this course I am purchasing a certificate, right?
 
 A: No. When you purchase this course you are NOT purchasing a certificate. Rather you are purchasing an opportunity to earn a certificate. Lack of integrity/cheating will result in immediate removal from the course with no refund. Some examples of cheating/lack of integrity are:

·        Disputing charges if you fail to earn a certificate 

·        Re-purchasing the course under another email if you failed to earn a certificate

·        Plagiarism (if course assignments call for a paper to be turned in to a grader)

Q: If I don't like the course can I get a refund?
 
 A: No. This course is considered an e-good and all e-good purchases are final so please be sure to see purchase terms and conditions before you pay for your purchase.
