Course Participation

Do I have to be online at specific times?

You do not have to be online at specific times! You can work through the lessons, readings, and exercises at your own pace during your course, with 12 months of access from your start date.


What is the time commitment each week?

This course is a self-paced course, broken into sections to help you pace your learning. Each section includes lessons, readings and exercises and can be completed at times that are convenient for you.

We have deliberately designed the course with 'bite-sized' lessons to enable flexibility, and with 12 months of course access, you will have ample time to review content at your own pace. Feel free to complete the course content over a few days or in blocks of time spread throughout the 12-month access period.


Is there homework during this program?

This course includes homework tasks. There are readings and exercises woven throughout the program to assist you practicing your new skills. However, you are not required to submit your individual homework tasks, just your signed homework checklist at the end of your course.

There is a document in the library titled "DBT Foundational Homework Assignments Checklist." We recommend using this document as a checklist to track when you have completed your weekly homework tasks.  


Do I need to submit my actual homework?

You do not need to submit your homework for each part!

At the end of your course, there is a section where you can submit your signed homework checklist. Your mentor will be responsible for checking that you have completed all homework tasks.


What if I can't attend the whole DBT Comprehensive program, drop out early, or need to defer?
