For nearly 30 years, the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® training program has been available from the Crisis Prevention Institute in a classroom-based format.

In June, the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) introduced the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® Hybrid Training option—a blend of web-based and classroom instruction. This state-of-the-art delivery option provides greater flexibility for CPI’s Certified Instructors to train the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® program.

Learners will first complete the web-based component which contains a variety of interactive presentations, scenarios, videos, and learning assessments that relate to each unit of the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® training program.

The Certified Instructor will then facilitate a classroom-based session that will include various discussions, applications, and learning activities to meet the learning objectives of the training program. The activities in the classroom-based portion are specifically designed to help reinforce what was learned through the computer-based content.

The two-pronged training approach can help organizations save significant classroom time, while additionally allowing learners to take the computer-based portion of the training at a time that best suits them, from virtually any computer that has a broadband connection to the internet.

The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® Hybrid Training teaches the same effective skills, supports the same principles, promotes the same philosophy, and adheres to the same quality standards as traditional Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® training. The difference is in the delivery.

Initial response from Certified Instructors and their learners has been extremely positive. Comments include:

There is a depth of understanding that makes discussions in class much more relevant than the traditional program.

Participants who have taken it have felt much more prepared and better able to grasp the content when we met in the classroom portion. They can make a better connection to their own setting.
