Train-the-Trainer Certification Programs

HCR-20 V3, SARA-V3, and B-SAFER Train-the-Trainer Certification Programs

The Train-the-Trainer programs allow us to certify that we have: 1) reviewed and approved the education and work experience of trainers, as well as examples of their work product; 2) examined their level of knowledge about the tool in question, as well as the Structured Professional Judgment approach; 3) provided them with small-group tutorials in the use of the risk assessment tools and in training others to use those tools, using our own training materials; 4) evaluated their training in the field through observation and written evaluations; and 5) taken steps to make sure their knowledge of the relevant literature remains accurate and up-to-date through annual continuing education requirements.
