APSATS has approved the following certification process for those coaches and clinicians who have completed the 4 day APSATS MPTM Certification Training program. Once the applicant has successfully completed the training and receives a certificate of completion of the program, the applicant will then complete the following requirements for consideration for Certification by APSATS as a Certified Partner Coach (CPC) or Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS).

Certification is designed to take place no earlier than 9 months, and must be completed within a 2 year (24 month) time period after taking the APSATS MPTM Certification Training program. Please note that these requirements are our initial requirements. We reserve the right to make changes to these requirements in the future as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors.

Q - I already did more hours than I need, what does that mean for me?

A - Talk to your primary supervisor and start your application for certification today!

Q  - Does a dyad count as an individual time?

A - Yes, a dyad can be considered as individual consultation. 

Q - I trained within the last 2 years but didn't get certified, what do I need to do? 

A - Choose a primary consultation supervisor and get started! You can review certification requirements here.

Q - Do I still need a primary consultation supervisor? 

A - Yes - that part hasn't changed, you must complete 10 hours with a primary consultation supervisor. If you need more hours, you may work with a coach consultation supervisor. Find APSATS Consultation Supervisors here.

Q - I took the MPTM training over 2 years ago, can I get straight into supervision? 

A  - If you are CSAT or CPTT and have taken MPTM in the last 3 years, you may begin the certification process immediately by choosing a primary consultation supervisor and getting started. If you are a licensed clinician without a CSAT or CPTT designation and if the 2 year certification period has elapsed since you took the training, you will need to re-take the MPTM training before pursuing certification. You may receive a 75% discount on your registration and can then enter consultation supervision to pursue certification.
