HOW IT WORKS 1. You are assigned a CAP trainer who will follow you throughout the training You will have access to individual online support for any questions or difficulties you may encounter during the training. Before the training begins, you will receive a drawing kit by mail containing all the necessary materials. The training is divided into several phases, with an assessment at the end of each one. This allows you to fully integrate each step of the process before moving on to the next. Your trainer is available to answer any questions you may have. Each time you pass a course based on your written work, you will receive the next course. If your written work is not accepted, you will have the opportunity to redo the exercise a second time, under certain conditions. For completing the CAP Program with one client, you will receive a drawing kit by mail containing all the necessary materials or, if the program is online, your client will receive the kit directly at their home. If the CAP Program with one of your clients takes place online, a temporary professional account will be made available to you, allowing you to schedule your sessions with your client. Once you have completed the training, a professional online account will be created, allowing you to offer the CAP program online. You will have access to all the music and documents. The subscription is free for the first year. You do not need to create your own website, as you will be listed on the Planet-CAP website as a certified CAP practitioner. Once you have completed the training, you can benefit from an individual consultation with a professional coach to help you set up your own individual CAP practice. You can order kits for your patients. The materials will be shipped directly to your center or private practice. We offer supervision to help you in your learning process.
