FAQs About our Training Program
What does the pro bono evaluation process involve?
After completing the 12-week training and shadowing a senior evaluator, you'll be assigned a client to evaluate. You'll conduct the evaluation, write the report, and receive guidance from a clinical supervisor. This process will be repeated twice more to gain practical experience. These evaluations are pro bono, meaning there's no payment involved for either the client or the evaluator.
When are the weekly consultation groups?
The consultation groups are usually held on Tuesdays from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM Pacific Time. If you can't attend in person (in San Diego), you can join remotely.
Will I automatically join the IPP team of providers upon completion of the program?
Completing the training program does not automatically qualify you to join the IPP team. Only trainees who have demonstrated proficiency and are recommended by their supervisors and the Director of Learning and Development will be considered for membership.
Can I accept referrals from individuals outside of the IPP network?
Yes, you can absolutely get your own referrals to conduct immigration evaluations. You have the flexibility to market your services and build your own client base. This allows you to expand your practice and reach a wider range of individuals seeking these evaluations.
What if I already have training and experience conducting immigration evaluations? Can I still join the IPP team?
Absolutely! Please reach out to us to discuss your experience and how you can contribute to our team.
