Q: If I finish this program, am I automatically a supervisor?
A: No. The 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course is not a certification course. Upon completing this program, participants seeking the clinical supervisor credential must still meet the criteria mandated in their state regulations, apply, and pay all applicable fees. State licensing boards have ultimate jurisdiction.
Q: Is this course approved by the Texas LPC/LMFT licensing boards? I remember that courses must be taught by approved providers only.
A: There is long answer to this:
In 2019 the law requiring the 40 hour LPC supervisor training to be offered only by an approved provider was eliminated. Now, neither the LPC nor the LMFT board approves CE providers or supervisor training courses.
The workshop version of our 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course was audited and approved by the Texas LPC Board in 2016.
The LPC board requires the course instructor to be a LPC Supervisor and Dr. Walker is a LPC Supervisor and LMFT Supervisor. She is also a NBCC approved provider.
Additionally, the Texas LPC regulations require LPC Supervisor training courses to meet certain criteria. We encourage you to preview the Syllabus so you can see exactly how the Kate Walker Training 40 Hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Training meets or exceeds Texas LPC and LMFT standards.
Q: I didn't think we could take the 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course completely online. Did that law change too?
A: It did indeed in 2019.
Q: Other courses offer free tools and resources after participants graduate. Does this course?
A: You betcha.
Graduates receive a free listing for life in the Texas Supervisor Training Supervisor Directory.
We offer free tools, templates, and resources including 14 Supervisor CEs for one year following graduation.
The Supervisor Monthly Consultation group meets six times each year for a total of 12 hours of continuing supervision education and ethics. Kate Walker Training graduates receive free admission to these already affordable meetings for one year.
Q: I have been a fully licensed Texas LPC for three years. I can be a supervisor, right?
A: It is up to the LPC board, but LPC rules stipulate you must hold your LPC license for five years before they will process your LPC Supervisor application.
If you are a Texas LPC, only take the 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course if, upon successful completion you can say either:
I have been licensed five years
or
I have been licensed three years and I will submit my CE certificate in two years.
Q: How long must I hold my LMFT license before I can apply for my LMFT Supervisor designation?
A: It is up to the LMFT board, but LMFT rules stipulate you must have documented at least 3,000 hours of LMFT practice over a minimum of 3 years before they will process your LMFT Supervisor application.
Only take this 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course if, upon successful completion you can say:
I have have documented at least 3,000 hours of LMFT practice over a minimum of 3 years
Q: So this course is good for two years?
A: For LPC, yes. LMFT doesn't specify.
Q: How long can I take to complete the 40 Hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Training?
A: If you are a LPC, according to Texas LPC 681.147 (2)you have 90 days to complete the course requirements. At Kate Walker Training we start the 90 day clock when you purchase the course.
Q: I am a LMFT. Can I take more than 90 days to complete the 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course?
A: It depends. The LMFT board is moving to align with LPC on this in the coming months.
If you complete the course in 90 days, your certificate will look like this:
If you finish all the assignments in more than 90 days your certificate will look like this: Q: I signed up for the course and it has been 89 days and I don’t think I’m going to finish in time. What happens if I don’t?
A: According to Texas LPC 681.147 (2) you have 90 days to complete the 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course. We start the clock when you purchase the course and we cannot extend the time.
Q: I turned everything in on day 89. If my instructor takes too long to check my work can I get an extension/refund/discount?
A: No. Graders have up to 10 days per assignment to verify your work. Also our graders don't work after business hours and on some national and religious holidays. We recommend you turn in your last assignment no less than 10 days before your your course ends.
Q: I purchased the 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course and I realize now I just don’t have time. Can I get a refund?
A: Unfortunately no. The 40 hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course is non-refundable because the material is considered to be ‘consumed’ as soon as you purchase it. Please see our terms and conditions regarding the purchase of e-goods.
Q: If I don't finish in 90 days, can I just re-purchase this course again?
A: No. We cannot give the impression to the licensing boards that we extended the 90 days via a course re-purchase.
Q: But I thought when I purchased the course I was purchasing the 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 and legal action if necessary.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
