Instructor Certification

Benefits of Instructor Certification

The training choice of most facilities is the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention^® Four-Day Instructor Certification Program. This option allows select employees to become CPI Certified Instructors and conduct in-house training. It is an ideal way to cascade the program throughout your entire organization and support an ongoing Training Process.

Certified Instructors Join a Global Network

CPI Certified Instructors receive exceptional support to help them implement training as an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. Once certified, Instructors become members of the CPI Instructor Association—a global network of crisis prevention and intervention specialists. This membership entitles both Instructors and their organization to many outstanding benefits.

"Through the years, I have attended CPI training programs and utilized the toll-free Instructor Services line to discuss specific issues. Whether in the classroom or on the phone, every CPI Instructor I have encountered was totally professional and knowledgeable and provided complete assistance when requested."
