Practicum Requirement (All Practitioner Pathways)
All Link, Child (CYP), and Lead Practitioner certifications require completion of a supervised practicum.

The practicum is delivered through a defined I Matter Microproject Package (1–3 cases) which provides the structured tools (Tracker + online learning access where relevant).

The practitioner is responsible for applying the I Matter framework, including planning and guiding appropriate study support using the tools provided.

Microproject packages are purchased separately as structured implementation containers.

Microproject Packages 

Microprojects are “tool bundles”

Used by trained practitioners to support 1–3 cases.

They include:

• Tracker credits
• Online learning accounts
  
• Access to the I Matter Learning Planning Tools

They do not include:

• practitioner time
• delivery
• supervision
• ongoing support

🧾 4 Simple Package levels 

The Microproject packages are key to the Practitioner Certification Process. 

Most organisations will invest in the Entry Level Training (Informed Practitioner, Senior LInk and Link Professional Training) then the Advanced Training (Lead Training and Lead Plus then Child Practitioner) once senior roles are in place.  A full strategy will require a Lead Plus role offering oversight.    Together these roles can support the flexible development of a strategy that can build capacity over time through small steps.
