What is the 6-year rule?
California Associates may only claim hours earned within 6 years of the date they submit their application for examination and licensure. The only exception to this rule is that AMFTs may claim up to 500 pre-degree practicum hours in the categories of counseling and supervision (other categories may not be claimed). The BBS has recently reiterated that there are no COVID waivers related to the 6-year rule and no exceptions will be made.
