Below is a link to the Board's Supervision Agreement and Verification of Experience Form.
Effective October 1, 2017, California Code of Regulations, Title 16 sections 1387 and 1387.1 relating to supervision agreement, the verification of experience, and the responsibilities of the primary supervisor were amended.
*The purpose of the Supervision Agreement is to ensure that both the supervisor and trainee understand and have a plan to comply with the laws and regulations related to the accrual of supervised professional experience (SPE).
Upon completion of the supervised professional experience as outlined in the Supervision Agreement, the primary supervisor is required to provide both the signed original Agreement and Verification of Experience form to the trainee in a sealed envelope, signed across the seal, for submission to the Board by the trainee along with his or her application.
If any hours of supervised professional experience were accrued prior to January 1, 2005, or if the hours were accrued outside of California, please complete both pages of the verification of experience form.
The Board has the authority to deny any hours of supervised professional experience if a Supervision Agreement was not properly completed prior to the accrual of hours after January 1, 2005.

A Supervision Agreement (SA) for supervised professional experience (SPE) must be an agreement outlining the goals and objectives of SPE and must be completed and signed prior to the start of the SPE. The SA must meet the requirements set forth in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 1387(b)(10). Failure to complete and sign the agreement prior to the start of the experience will result in the Board’s rejection of those hours. For individuals who intend for hours of SPE to count toward meeting the licensing requirements and applying for psychological assistant registrations, the SA must be submitted along with the application.
