Hi Emma,
Yes, your externship site does have to meet certain requirements. At the very end of your course, there will be a Study Unit dedicated strictly to the requirements and it includes all paperwork you will need to complete. I would suggest waiting until a little later in the program to review this. You have plenty of time and you should focus mainly on your exams right now. After you review the paperwork, if you have additional questions, please feel free to give us a call and we would be happy to help!
