2. Formal coursework in supervision of psychology trainees taken from an accredited educational institution
3. Workshops in supervision of psychology trainees

5. Other exences which provide direction and education in the principles of supervision of psychology trainees.

2. Approved continuing education course in laws and ethics;
3. Workshops in laws and ethics;
