The fine print most trackers miss
Alabama-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LPC associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Required supervised experience does not begin until the ALC license is issued
- Hours earned outside Alabama are not accepted unless completed under an ABEC-approved LPC-S while working with Alabama residents
- Board may reduce the 3000-hour experience requirement by up to 2000 hours for qualifying graduate coursework beyond the master's degree
Built for Alabama
How ClearPath handles Alabama LPC
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 2,250-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios — at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the actual Alabama State Board of Social Work Examiners form from your records. Not a reproduction — the same PDF the board accepts.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker. 50% of every Pro subscription goes to Shane's Coffee — a vocational training program for people living with mental health challenges and disabilities.
