Do you offer a certification class that I am able to attend after work hours ?
Thanks so much
Susan
Hi Susan!
Thank you for your question! Right now, we do not offer training after work hours. One day, we hope to offer an evening only training. I added your name and email to our list to let you know when that happens. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information!
Amanda
Is this training also self-paced online?
The training is live for the most part, but there are homework assignments and a paper you do on your time, but there is a deadline.
How do I become an intern for the fee to be waived?
Hi Jenny,
If you are interested in becoming an intern, please submit a resume to amorcone@centerforfamilyjustice.org.
1. What are the next steps after getting a certificate?
2. Can I work in the actual field with this certificate?
3. Are there daily assignments and a paper in every class?
Hi Yvonne. I am going to forward your question to Amanda Posila, who runs the training for us. You can also reach out to her by emailing at apolisa@centerforfamilyjustice.org. Thank you!
What type of Intern are you exactly talking about? I am a CADC-Intern and I am on track to becoming LCSW-Intern soon. I have been trying to find certification for this particular area after I obtained my Anger Management Certification.
Is this approved for Nevada if you know?
