Davis Licensing Training:

Three-Phase Supervised Training Pod:

This training ensures professional standards of quality for providing 5-day Davis programs are fully developed and understood. Students work in groups of 3 (pods) under the supervision of a Davis Specialist, in one of the following roles for a full week:

• Providing a Davis Program.
• Receiving a Davis Program.
• Observing a Davis Program.

The roles are not done in a specific order. Some students may provide a program during their first Pod Week, while others may provide a program in their third Pod Week. Students work in groups of three under the direct supervision of a Davis Specialist. Each group consists of a provider, a client, and an observer. Therefore scheduling is subject to forming groups of three students who all have complementary roles. The observing and providing roles may need to be repeated to improve skills. Includes individual supervisor consultations, Client Kit in the "receive program" Pod Week, and handbook of forms required for providing Davis programs. Group discussions and short lectures led by a Specialist are held throughout the Pod Weeks. These further prepare a student for providing Davis programs in a professional, business setting.

Final Licensing Field Assignments:

At least four complete Davis Programs must be provided in the student's own professional setting, independent of supervision. The client files of two (2) of these programs (which have full confidentiality and will be returned) and short reports of the other two cases are evaluated by a Davis Specialist. These Assignments can begin upon Specialist recommendation after completing one Pod Week. At least two of these programs must be provided after all three Training Pod Weeks are completed. Phone consultation with a Specialist, as needed, is available by appointment. Submission of additional client files may be required. Upon recommendation of the Specialist and necessary documentation, Certification and Licensing will be granted subject to annual renewal requirements specified in the Davis Facilitator Licensing Agreement.

Academic Credit (US & Canada Only): 21 quarter units undergraduate/graduate or CEU available for completion of pod weeks and final field assignments.
