Clinician Certification

This document outlines the AF-CBT Clinician Certification process step-by-step with detailed instructions.

This document is a handy visual reminder of the AF-CBT certification process.

Trainees seeking certification are required to complete this form for two AF-CBT cases that they have completed. A completed case is one which includes content from all 3 phases and the content of each topic that was implemented was fully covered. Sections and tasks administered for each topic are included for each case. For topics/content not completed, note the reason for non-completion. Raters will consider these reasons in determining whether a case will be considered complete. Each case must include at least 1 outcome standardized measure at intake and discharge.

Once the fee is received, a link to the AF-CBT Knowledge Questionnaire will be provided. Achieve a score of at least 80% on the AF-CBT Knowledge Questionnaire to pass.

Submit a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 audio files of recorded treatment sessions for fidelity review.

After a file is submitted and reviewed, your trainer will send a confirmation e-mail with the score your file received. If at least 2 of your submitted files pass 80% fidelity, you will be able to continue the certification process. Each audio file submitted during the consultation period is also reviewed for fidelity for no additional cost.

Further submitted audio will be reviewed for a fee of $100 per audio file. If you have submitted 4 files and fewer than 2 of your submitted files pass 80% fidelity, you will not be able to continue the certification process.

A completed case is one which includes content from all 3 phases and the content of each topic that was implemented was fully covered. Each case must include at least 1 outcome standardized measure at intake and discharge.

For each case, complete an AF-CBT Case Completion Checklist that includes the sections and tasks administered for each topic. For topics/content not completed, note the reason for non-completion. Raters will consider these reasons in determining whether a case will be considered complete.
