Endorsement Application System

Welcome to Virginia's Online Endorsement System.

2. Document a Minimum of 15 Hours of Specialized Training Received between January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022 that are specific to the competencies that support the Endorsement. (Note: If you are an approved provider of Reflective Supervision/Consultation to other Endorsement applicants, a minimum of 3 of the 15 hours of specialized in-service training must be relate to the provision of RS/C.)

3. Reflective Supervision: Although a minimum of 12 hours of Reflective Supervision/Consultation annually is required for Infant Family Specialists, Infant Mental Health Specialists, and Infant Mental Health Mentors (Clinical) to renew and maintain Endorsement status, Virginia has permission to defer this requirement until 2024 while we continue to build capacity to support RS in Virginia. Beginning in 2024, six hours of Reflective Supervision for Infant Family Specialists, Infant Mental Health Specialists, and Infant Mental Health Mentors (Clinical) will be required for renewal, and from 2025 onward, the full 12 hours of RS will be required. (Note: If you are an approved provider of Reflective Supervision for Endorsees in Virginia, please document receipt of the required 12 hours of RS/C.)

4. Submit for Endorsement Renewal and pay the annual $40 renewal fee via your EASy application. * IMPORTANT * Be sure to submit your $40 renewal fee before logging out in order to avoid being locked out of your application.
