Elective Options
Elective
credit does not expire, and can be used for either CAMT I or
CAMT II credit, no matter when it was earned.
• Receiving AMT "For-Credit" Sessions: Learn by experiencing the
work--come as a client to an Instructor, approved Assistant, or CAMT II
practitioner for AMT work. A-T Instructors give a discount to all CAMT I and CAMT II enrollees. If approved AMT providers are not
available in your area, you may request credit for receiving a related modality
from a local practitioner.4
• Practice Log: document a
min. of 25 AMT sessions, using the log form available on the CAMT site.
• Practice Enhancement Assessment: clients,
peers, and mentors selected by you complete a private poll, evaluating key
aspects of your work and practice. We present you with an anonymous summary,
and help you apply the invaluable learning gained. (Elective for CAMT I;
included in CAMT II fee.)
• Advising: Meet in-person or by phone with
the faculty advisor of your choice, who will help you clarify and design the
learning focus of your Certification program. (Elective for CAMT I; two 30-min. sessions are
included in CAMT II fee.)
• Professional Coaching: Get help
setting a professional course for yourself, taking action, and staying on
track. Topics may include practice building, professional development, career
direction, client or ethical issues, burnout and inspiration, wellness and
lifestyle support, team leadership or clinic management, etc. In-person or by telephone.
• Client Supervision: Bring a
client, friend, or colleague and work on them together with your Instructor.
Receive specific supervision on assessment, body reading, strategizing, body
use, technique, session design, etc. Optionally, come with another practitioner
for paired supervision (2 practitioner, 2 clients) to learn from someone else's
analysis (and to reduce costs).
• Hands-On Mentoring: Personalized,
real-time one-on-one instruction in hands-on skills. May include working on
and/or receiving work from your Instructor for individualized specifics on
technique, palpatory accuracy, effectiveness, and more.
• Shadow (Audit) an Instructor's Session: Observe
your Instructor working with a student or client, and afterwards discuss and
reflect on what was learned. Auditing a session is a great way to learn client
skills, assessment, strategizing, pacing, session design, etc.
• Study/Review/Supervision Groups: We
encourage local or virtual study groups, whether formal or informal. Contact us
for ideas and to be put in touch with other practitioners.
• Custom-designed individual study, internship, writing, service, or research projects. Learn in your own way—the possibilities are endless.
Examples include: video supervision, service or research projects, writing for
publication, internships with A-T, etc. Credit is assessed and arranged
case-by-case, based on the learning, contribution, and time involved; a review
fee applies. Contact us to discuss your ideas for an Individual Project.
Notes:
2 Separate
application and training is required for "Table Assistant" approval.
3 Electives must be with approved providers and be
documented via CAMT forms for credit. All electives and sessions have a fee
associated with them, unless described as "included".

Recording your Credits
To earn credit, all requirements and

or,
2. The appropriate "for credit" form, which is available at
the CAMT participant page.
A "Course Record" form is
available to help you track and record your progress. Although A-T can provide
a transcript of CE credits on record, obtaining and completing the required
documentation is the enrolleeÕs responsibility.
Prerequisites, Renewal, & Deadlines

• Renewal: There are no renewal fees apart from the elective options
chosen. Renewal is automatic when you do the following every 4 years:

• Completion Period: There is no deadline for completion once you are
accepted into the Certification Program. However, the requirements in effect at time of program completion will apply.

Certification's expiration date is available by registering for and completing
the required number of CAMT elective credits (14 for CAMT I; 7 for CAMT II)
with a start date within 6 months of your Certification's expiration. (Registration must be paid in full before your Certification's expiration date to be eligible for any CAMT tution discounts.)
• Reinstatement
of expired Certification (if not extended prior to expiration) requires:
1. Seven (7) additional CAMT credits for each year elapsed beyond
expiration;
2. And, a $50 admin fee (plus normal cost of any CE credit
