In order to complete the pre-certification program participants are required to complete five on-line courses and attend one short residual institute. The on-line courses have an open enrollment period so participants may enroll at any time and are allowed up to three months to complete each course. The weekend residential institutes are offered every six months at different geographic locations across the country.
Online courses utilize audio and video lectures, electronic slideshows, chat room interaction with faculty, online guest lectures, web site field trips, exercises, and other techniques designed to support mastery of the material.
The on-site residential institute will provide participants with a chance to experience the consultation and testimony process as well as an opportunity to work through several exercises in ethical decision making. In this practical setting, students perform a series of applied exercises that allow them to bring together and utilize all of the theoretical knowledge and skills learned during the online experience. Participants receive training in testimony and participate in a mock testimony experience to affirm the student’s eventual role as an expert. The on-site program also grants students the opportunity to socially network and interact directly with some of the most experienced and well known life care planners in the field.
