Center for Advanced Professional Education

A collaboration between the University of Redlands and The Practice Institute

CAPE

The Center for Advanced Professional Education (CAPE) couples the intellectual and technological resources of two organizations — the University of Redlands and The Practice Institute — to provide high quality professional development programming.

CAPE's initial programs are for mental health professionals and address two domains: (1) developing competence in the business of practice; and (2) developing professional practice competence and expertise.  CE credits are available for most CAPE programming.

Practice Development Certificate Program

 

Five, seven-week online courses that teach mental health professionals the business skills needed to create, develop and manage a mental health practice.  All are taught by nationally recognized instructors known for their work in teaching and coaching mental health professionals in practice management skills.  A value-added feature in each course is the opportunity to participate in a weekly web conference with the instructor, during his or her online office hours.

A mental health professional can take each course individually or can take the larger package and earn a practice management certificate

Completing each course will earn 21 hours of continuing education credit.

The program begins January 2019
