Deliberate Practice Video Assignment

Thank you for your interest in Sentio University!

Training at Sentio University involves Deliberate Practice exercises that go beyond what is required at many other programs. We want to give you a taste of what Deliberate Practice is like so you can determine if we are a good fit for your training goals. The Deliberate Practice Video Assignment is an optional part of your application. You will not be evaluated on your performance; we simply want you to experience Deliberate Practice as part of the application process.

Please follow the instructions below if you wish to complete the DP assignment.

1. There are four numbered video prompts on this page. Each video shows an actor playing a therapy client and the specific therapy “skill criteria” you need to perform in your response to that client. You are will submit a response for at least two of the four videos.

2. Watch the video prompts and practice responding as if you are the client’s therapist. You are welcome to practice as many times as you like.

3. When you feel ready, record yourself responding to the video prompts. We recommend this free website for recording: https://webcamera.io. You can also use any other means to create your recordings, such as Zoom or your phone. Create one recording for each video prompt you complete.

4. Name your recordings with your first and last name, plus the number of the video you are responding to (e.g. “CarlRogers1”).

5. Submit your recordings via our Deliberate Practice Video Submission form.

Once your Admissions Application has been successfully submitted, we will evaluate your materials and contact you about your applicant interview.
