  OR

• Schedule a live IFS session of the same length for a Certification Reviewer to observe

Sessions must reflect work conducted within the IFS model framework.

Applicants are responsible for coordinating directly with a Reviewer and paying the review fee.

The current fee is:

• $200 USD for review of a session up to 60 minutes

Additional time may result in prorated fees as determined by the Reviewer.
