Year 2

• An internship or practicum is required for Educational Diagnostician Certification. The internship is a secured position as an educational diagnostician (two consecutive semesters) within an LEA. The practicum is a field-based experience that allows participants to remain in their current role within an LEA while logging 200 clock hours of educational diagnostician related activities/duties. A fee is required for the internship/practicum ($4,000). This fee can be set up on payroll deductions for ten months or can be paid in full prior to beginning the internship/practicum.

Attendance at coursework is very important for success in this fast-paced educational diagnostician program. When an absence occurs, the absence form must be completed. A make-up assignment will be given.
