except they do not have to receive supervision.

practicing unless you fail it again. Then you must reapply and receive a license
before you can practice again.
Do applicants for licensure need to be supervised? Right Ans - Yes. You
must be supervised if you have not yet applied (before the 30 days), and once
you have applied, until you have passed the exams, received notice that you
passed, and received a permanent license.
How much supervision is required for applicants to become permanently
licensed? Right Ans - two-years by a licensed psychologist with a health
services provider certificate. One year must be post-doctoral, and one can be
pre-doctoral.
