The Labor Clinics

In particular, the attendance of the Labour Clinic course is considered equivalent to 240 hours of work experience, which is supplemented by a further 240 hours of work experience to be completed within six months of enrolment in the Order, in the office of an employment counsellor.
Students following this modality are required to register with the Register of Practitioners at the beginning of the course. If they have not met the requirements for admission by that date, they may register by 30 September of the year in which they are attending the Labour Clinic course, once the requirements have been met. In such cases, students will be able to count the 240 hours (of work experience) as recognised for Labour Clinic students, otherwise they will lose the benefit.
The application must be submitted between 1 September and 30 November, as described in the previous sections.
