Two new updates have been communicated by the Dept. of Health.

• The initial three (3) week re-examination process has been changed to a one (1) week waiting period, prior to retaking the exam.  This is for those who may not pass the examination the first time.
  
  
• Wording on the Certified Counselor/Certified Advisor Application has been updated, to reflect the correct process for applying under Alternative C.  In order to apply for the new credential under Alternative C, all requirements must be met prior to June 30, 2010.  Those applying after June 30, 2010 must apply under Alternative A or Alternative B, and are required to have a supervisory agreement.
