Registration for the Advanced year is done on an Approval Process. To be Approved, you must have completed your Advanced I training module. If you are registered for but have not yet completed your Advanced I training module and are interested in registering for this training, you may be Approved provided your Advanced I training module is completed at least 60-days prior to the start date of this Advanced II training module. Advanced trainings are regional trainings, not cohorts, therefore your registration in an Advanced training module does not secure your spot in Advanced II.

SE Professional Training Advanced II Course Description
The Advanced level does not follow the same cohort structure as the Beginning and Intermediate levels. This means attendance in Advanced I does not guarantee attendance in Advanced II. Advanced trainings are primarily held regionally and in person (with limited online options) which are synchronous course delivery methods, utilizing interactive discussion, group activities, and question-and-answer sessions between the instructor and students, at the same training location to support a strong and cohesive group learning environment. Only Advanced I offers a post-training Review Video – an asynchronous course delivery method, meaning no continuing education (CE) credits are awarded for the post-training Review Video. We do offer some Advanced I in person synchronous trainings that will offer mental health professional continuing education credits. Please always double check the CE Information tab above to see what CEs will be offered. As a reminder, all Advanced II trainings are in person synchronous trainings but do not come with any mental health professional continuing education credits. If you are unable to attend your training module, you may request to transfer your registration to another Advanced level training provided space is available.
