If a credential holder wants to change employers while in the program, when must they notify the coordinator?

• A. Within 30 days.
• B. Within 5 days.
• C. Within 1 day.
• D. No notification is required.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is prompt reporting of changes in practicum or employment that affect supervision. If a credential holder plans to switch employers during the program, notifying the coordinator within five days ensures the supervisor and site are properly coordinated, the practicum plan stays current, and hours earned at the new site can be tracked and counted toward credential requirements. This timely notice helps maintain supervision quality, ensure the new site meets program standards, and prevent gaps in progress.

Waiting longer, like thirty days, could leave supervision and record-keeping out of sync. Requiring notification within one day is unnecessarily strict for most real-world transitions, and claiming no notification is required would violate program rules.
