Supplementary Education

Supplementary education is the opportunity for interns, whether or not employed, to earn training hours outside of a traditional work setting.

Of the 5,600 hours required for completion of IDP, 3,720 hours are considered core minimum hours. The additional 1,880 hours required are considered elective hours.

You may earn training hours through supplementary education for either core or elective credit:

Core Hours 
Experience earned in IDP training categories and areas. Core minimum hours are the minimum number of hours you must earn in a given training category or area. [Supplementary education for Core]

Elective Hours
Experience earned through core hours or supplementary education to satisfy the elective training requirement of 1,880 elective hours.
[Supplmentary education for Elective]

Note: All supplementary education activities can be reported through the e-EVR under the "My Supplementary Education" tab.
