Clinical support is not part of the self-study course, but is an integral part of the CERTIFICATE PROGRAM.

If you would prefer to have 'live' clinical support, we invite you to register for the next certificate program rather than the self-study course.

In the certificate program, in addition to the self-study coursework, we offer interactive opportunities: group consultations every month, reduced fee individual consultations, and support from your instructors. Programs are offered in March, June, September, and December every year.
