  • At least 75 total hours of training, including a minimum of 16 hours of supervised clinical experience
  • Completion of the first 16 hours of classroom instruction before any direct client contact
  • Passing both the knowledge test (75 questions, 60 minutes, 71% to pass) and the skills evaluation (randomly selected skills scored by a state-approved examiner)
  • Passing both components within one year of completing training, with unlimited retakes during that period before a new training program is required
