Cohort #PA-011121

Event Overview

Certified FETI’s Practical Application of the Forensic Experiential Trauma Interview Course provides attendees with 30 hours of instruction within a 10-day cohort that includes five interactive classroom experiences, participation as an interviewer and participant in six interviews each, online independent learning, a Personal Experience Interview conducted by an Advanced FETI Practitioner, facilitated review of conducted interviews and documentation practice.

Throughout the course, each student will continue to develop and practice the knowledge, skills, and abilities obtained from the prerequisite course, Introduction to FETI.

This course does not certify an attendee in FETI® but does fulfill a requirement for Basic-level certification in FETI®.

ATTENDANCE

This course requires completion of all live (online) classroom instruction, interviews, and assignments. It is important to review all dates and times marked LIVE in the cohort’s course schedule prior to registration.

This course requires access to a reliable Internet connection. You will be required to participate in 1:1 video calling and group video calling. Due to the nature of this course, there is no opportunity to reschedule meeting and interview times that are missed due to connection issues. You are strongly advised to only register for a cohort once you have confirmed you have access to a private area with reliable high-speed Internet during all dates and times listed in the detailed Cohort Agenda as “LIVE”. Missed meetings or interviews will result in an incomplete for the course without refund of monies paid.

More than one person in a single location accessing online video conferencing will significantly reduce your Internet speeds. Be aware of how many other attendees from your location will be registered for the cohort you select before confirming. You will be required to be in fully private and separate space from other attendees in your same location.

The nature of this instruction requires all attendees to list their real first and last name, job title and upload a photograph of their real person to their Certified FETI account for the duration of the course. No avatars, drawings or other graphic representations are permitted.

All trainings are conducted in English. Contact the help desk for options to attend training in another language before registering. Certified FETI strives to make all of our training events accessible to everyone. If you require an accommodation, you must advise us in advance of any needed auxiliary aids or services.

Non-participating attendees will be removed from the course with no refund of registration fee.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Attendees are required to participate in all “LIVE” sessions from a fully private space free from physical and audible distractions. Attendees will participate as the participant and the interviewer during interviews multiple times over the course of this instruction. In order to offer privacy to all attendees, no person may observe or overhear any of the “LIVE” sessions. Any violation of this will result in a ban from the entire Certified FETI platform without refund of any monies paid. Attendees will be required to confirm, on video, at the start of each session they are in a fully private space.

Due to privacy and facilitation restrictions, attendees from the same organization are not allowed to attend the “LIVE” sessions from the same physical space.

REFUND POLICY

Due to the limited capacity of these events we are unable to refund a token or move you to another cohort if you are currently assigned to a cohort that is within sixty (60) calendar days of starting. We are required to maintain very strict attendance policies at Practical Application of FETI Courses as each attendee directly impacts another attendee’s ability to complete their interviews and coursework. Due to these requirements, there is no ability to accommodate last minute changes or absences for any reason. This includes court subpoena, work obligations or other commitments that conflict unexpectedly with the cohort agenda. You are highly encouraged to determine your ability to make yourself unavailable with courts and employers prior to selecting a seat in a cohort. Missing any portion of the “LIVE” sessions removes you fully from the remaining portion of the course without refund of your course token.
