The OG Certified Level training includes 100 contact hours of coursework and 200 hours of supervised practicum. The practicum must span two years. At Camperdown Academy, the coursework also spans two years as it is divided into two intensive workshops: Course 1 and Course 2. The courses may be taken in any order; they are not sequential. Qualified trainees may also receive three hours of graduate credit for each course. Participation in this course requires a Bachelor’s degree, successful completion of the Associate Level Training, and documentation of at least four observations by a Fellow. The course objectives conform to the Orton-Gillingham Academy’s guidelines.

Practicum: Practicum is an essential part of the training process. Certified trainees should expect to be working with more than one student in 1:1 sessions. Mentorship and supervision are provided to support the trainee’s development toward becoming an independent practitioner qualified to serve complex and/or advanced students. A separate fee is required.
