Step 1. Completion of the Practicum
The Organisation completes the practicum when the Primary and Second Consultants agree that the organisation has reached the required standards of practice as set out in the Action Plan and Portfolio of Evidence.
The Final Reviews of both consultants and the forward Action Plan will be presented to the Board by the Primary Consultant with a recommendation for certification.
Step 2. Agreement and Recommendation
If the Primary and Second Consultants do not agree on the recommendation, then the DDPI Board Review Committee, whose decision and recommendations will be final, will review the Organisation’s Portfolio of Evidence and the findings of the Consultants and determine if the Action Plan has been completed.
If it is felt that sufficient progress has not been made, the DDPI Board Review Committee will outline steps necessary for the Organisation to complete the Action Plan and Practicum.
The Practicum is completed when the Primary and Second Consultants then agree that the Organisation has completed the steps outlined by the DDPI Board Review committee.
Step 3. Payment of Certification fee
The Organisation pays the DDP Organisation Certification fee.
