Internship status is a transitional step toward licensure and is not intended as a means to avoid licensure. Applicants approved for registration as an intern will have five years to complete the supervised direct client contact hours necessary for licensure or for examination. Failure to meet the experience requirements for licensure within five years will result in expiration of registration and closure of the application file. The intern may petition the Board to allow extension of registration for up to one year beyond the maximum five years if he/she can show good cause for such extension.(4)
Former applicants who re-apply may transfer direct client contact hours accrued under a board-approved plan to their new plan.
