Completion of the Trainer Practicum is described in the following steps.
1. Approval of Certification
If your chosen Trainer believes that you have demonstrated the ability to successfully train practitioners and organisations in all of the core training components, then you will be considered to be a DDPI approved Certified Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Trainer.
Materials to provide after Certification
Following Certification, you will provide a curriculum of your Training to DDPI to insure that the core components are being covered and to inform DDPI what, if any other (non-core component content) materials are being presented.
2. Non-approval of Certification
If your chosen Trainer does not believe that you have met the required level of ability to become Certified as a Trainer, the Certified Trainer will put in writing to you the reasons for not approving Certification, with the possibility of recommending additional Practicum experience.
The Candidate has the right to appeal this decision to the Board of DDPI Board Review Committee whose decisions are final.
