Benefits of Instructor Certification

When you become certified, you automatically become a member of the CPI Instructor Association—a global network of crisis prevention and intervention specialists. This membership entitles both Instructors and their organisations to many outstanding benefits. Your membership status formally recognises your ongoing commitment to training and your contributions to staff and those in their care.

You'll receive exceptional benefits and support, including:

• Free professional consultation.
  Ring CPI’s freephone Instructor Services line Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 17:00 p.m. for consultation with CPI Global Professional Instructors. These consultants are available to assist and support Certified Instructors by answering queries, assessing needs, problem solving, and offering guidance on preparing training and handling specific crisis situations. You won't reach an answering machine or be put into a confusing maze of voice mail—you'll reach a professional who is ready to help you!
• Documentation of training activities.
  CPI maintains records and documentation of all training submitted by Certified Instructors. You'll receive programme confirmation notices for each training you conduct. If a query arises about who was trained when, ring CPI's Instructor Services freephone. Current training records can also be easily accessed through the Instructors-only section of the website.
• Easy, exclusive access to the Instructors-only section of the website.
  Keep up to date on critical issues that impact your crisis intervention efforts with resources, tutorials, computer-based learning options, and other interactive learning activities that are available only to Certified Instructors. This section of the site is exclusively for CPI Instructor Association members.
• Refresher training programmes.
  All Certified Instructors are invited to attend refresher workshops regularly conducted by CPI across the UK and Ireland. The refresher workshop allows Certified Instructors to review programme content, refresh training skills, and consult with a CPI Global Professional Instructor.
• Professional development resources and opportunities.
  Other support services for Certified Instructors include:
  • Discounted prices on CPI training resources and materials.
  • Advanced training options.
  • Invitations to CPI’s International Instructors’ Conferences.
  • Free subscriptions to two professional publications—the Instructor Forum and the Journal of Safe Management of Disruptive and Assaultive Behavior.
