Why do the requirements not allow sufficient flexibility (e.g., hours per category, hours per year, specific activities required)?
The committee noted that a number of registrants who submitted log sheets as part of the random audit indicated that they had completed more than the required number of hours per category. The committee considers the required hours as the minimum amount required for compliance with the program and applauds registrants who wish to supplement the minimum requirements with other activities that allow the registrant to focus on a particular area of interest or a specific method of learning. The committee is aware of other psychology jurisdictions where each year half of the registrants are eligible for audit with the required activities completed over a two-year cycle. The committee will revisit this issue again in the future once the program definitions and administrative procedures are solidly in place.
