Documentation is the least glamorous part of practice and the first thing anyone asks for when something goes wrong. It is also, quietly, the thing that most distinguishes a professional practice from an informal one.
The standard this course teaches
Enough detail that a reasonable colleague could understand what happened in a session and why. Not more. Over-documentation creates its own risks, and many practitioners swing between keeping nothing and keeping far too much.
Consent as a conversation, not a form
A signature at intake is not consent if the client did not understand what they were agreeing to. This course treats consent as an ongoing conversation, with the form as its record rather than its substitute.
What you will leave with
An adaptable consent form, a note structure that takes minutes rather than an hour, and a retention policy you can actually follow.
How the course runs
Self-paced across seven modules with downloadable templates. Certificate of completion states hours and date and carries a verification link.

- Building a consent form clients actually read
