The AAMFT Supervision Courses
The AAMFT Approved Supervisor courses have recently been revised and reconfigured, offering new formats for the online learning experience and streamlining the overall process. Please review the following Frequently Asked Questions regarding those courses.
What are the different options for course completion?
AAMFT offers two different options for course completion. The first option is a hybrid course, consisting of 15 hours of interactive hours and 15 hours of online work. The second option is a fully virtual, 30-hour course with no online work.
What is included in a “hybrid” course?
• Fundamentals of Supervision – The hybrid course consists of 15 interactive hours done online over Zoom and 15 hours of independent online work. The online work is assigned and completed during the same timespan as the interactive hours.
• Approved Supervision Refresher
1. Completion of the online didactic portion to be completed on your own.
2. Readings and short assignments as directed by the instructor.
3. Participation in one three-hour interactive, online discussion group.
When will the course show on my Teneo dashboard?
You will only see Supervision courses in Teneo if you have registered for a hybrid course.
• The Refresher courses will be available and accessible almost immediately after registration.
• The Fundamentals courses will be made accessible a week prior to the start of your course.
To locate these or any other Teneo online courses:
• Go to the AAMFT website at www.aamft.org and sign in on the right-hand corner.
• Hover on Enhance Knowledge tab and select Online Education and Training.
• Click on Access Your Courses.
Just below the "Dashboard" you'll be able to click on "Your Enrollments" and access your courses.
How will I access the Interactive course sessions?
A Zoom link will be emailed to you a week before and three hours prior to the first course meeting. If you do not receive that email please check your junk/spam folders first, then contact learning@aamft.org.
What is the course deadline?
• Fundamentals - The Philosophy of Supervision paper must be completed within one month of the last interactive session, no exceptions. Your instructor will inform you when your paper has been reviewed and will provide instructions for accessing your CE certificate on our Certification Manager site.
• Refresher - When the interactive and didactic portions of the course are completed, you will be directed to complete an online Refresher Didactic Assignments form in order for the CE certificate to be issued. Your CE certificate will be emailed to you once the online Assignments form is completed and your instructor conveys successful fulfillment of all requirements.
How do I renew my Approved Supervisor Designation?
Completing the course and receiving your CE certificate does not fulfill the AS renewal process. You will also need to submit an Approved Supervisor Renewal form for your designation to be renewed for another 5 years.
*Please email the Approved Supervisor Renewal form to central@aamft.org.
What is included in a “virtual” course?
Virtual courses cover materials during the interactive, online sessions.
• Fundamentals – This course will be completed via Zoom over a series of two weeks. It will consist of four 7.5-hour sessions. You must attend ALL FOUR SESSIONS in their entirety.
• Refresher – All 6 interactive hours are completed via a Zoom meeting on one day. You must be able to attend the entire 6 hours on that day.
What is the course deadline for the virtual format?
• Fundamentals - The Philosophy of Supervision paper must be completed within one month of the last interactive session, no exceptions. Your instructor will inform you when your paper has been reviewed and will provide instructions for accessing your CE certificate on our Certification Manager site.
• Refresher – There are no additional assignments or submissions necessary following the 6-hour class. At the conclusion of the course, your instructor will provide instructions for accessing your CE certificate on our Certification Manager site.
In order to renew your designation, you will need to submit the Approved Supervisor Renewal form to central@aamft.org.
***Please note all course times are in Eastern Time.

What is the cancellation policy for the Approved Supervision courses?
Due to the limited availability of spaces in the online Approved Supervision courses, cancellations and any subsequent request for refund must be made 30 days prior to the start of your scheduled interactive session. Cancellations made within 30 days of the course, will be eligible for a 25% refund.
All cancellation requests must be made in writing and should be sent to central@aamft.org.
If I registered for a course and need to change sessions, what should I do?
There is currently not a process in place to transfer registrations. You will need to submit a cancellation request to central@aamft.org. You can then register online for another course.
