Training at Conference
Improve, enrich, grow, and share your skills
Opportunities to enhance your skills don’t end with Conference on Tuesday, July 25. CPI will offer in-person training from Wednesday, July 26 through Friday, July 28. We also will offer virtual training—for Mental Health, Trauma, and Autism Spectrum Disorder specialty topics—which you can take over those training days or after you return home.
Both the in-person and virtual training programs are available as an instructor certification, recertification, or a renewal.
All in-person programs are blended. An online course, which provides the core program content, should be completed prior to arriving at Conference.
