Can I start my practice hours for the IBT before completing the 40 hours of REOs

Supervised practice hours can begin immediately upon registration and signing the Supervisor Agreement. These hours may accrue while you are obtaining the 40 hours of training. The 40 hours of training does not have to be completed prior to the start of the supervised practice hours. 

The total supervised practice hours consist of 300 hours in which supervision occurs for 1 hour for every 30 hours of practice.  The resulting total number of supervision hours is 10.  

You will find a detailed description of Supervised Practice in the IBT Requirements document located on the IBAO Downloads page of the website.
