What will our training schedule be?
People attend the 2-Day Instructor’s training from all over the world. It is difficult to do a live event and make the training times fit for everyone’s schedules. We hope this works for you!
Additionally, all sessions will be recorded, so participants can watch any session they missed. The recordings will be available for 30-days after the training.
The Training start-time, end-time, and break-times vary depending on which time zone you are in.
Who should attend?
If your goal is to teach skills to children, adolescents, or adults who have learning and/or mental health challenges, this training is for you!
- Often social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists, BCBA’s, psychiatrists, and neuropsychologists attend the 2-Day Skills System Instructor’s Training.
- In addition, people working in residential and/or day-treatment settings, who want to teach the people they support, staff, and family members, benefit from taking this 2-Day training.
Recommendations:
- Please complete the Skills System E-Learning Course 1 – Skills Basics, and Course 2 – Skills Coaching Strategies before the training. This will optimize the learning experience at the 2-Day training. An individual access to Course 1 and 2 is included for people who are not already in the E-Learning.
- Purchasing the Skills System text (2016) prior to the training is a great idea. We may refer to the book during the training, so having a copy of it will also enhance the learning experience. Click the button below to order your copy of the Skills System text from Guilford Press.
