Applicants for licensure by examination must demonstrate professional competency by passing the American marital and family therapy regulatory board (AMFTRB) examination. Should the applicant fail the required examination three times, the board shall not issue another temporary license for that application for license. No prior clinical supervision or clinical hours shall be applied toward the reapplication for license. Upon passing the requisite examination, the applicant holding the temporary LAMFT shall be issued the LAMFT license so that the applicant may continue to practice under supervision and acquire the requisite clinical hours and supervision for the independent LMFT license.
