• APEL Route - Now Open

The APEL route is intended to provide a route to becoming a registered supervisor for those who have practiced as a supervisor for many years and have a great deal of experience or for those who have done substantial supervisory training on a course not accredited by AFT - this includes applicants from overseas and those who have done substantial training outside the modality (who can demonstrate that they have formally acquired knowledge and competence in supervising within a systemic modality).
