A competency-based accreditation process (Part 2
of training) is a
critical component of the professional training course and also must be completed for
official recognition of proficiency in program delivery.
Accreditation days are scheduled 8-10 weeks after the initial
intensive training has been conducted. Attendance
at an accreditation day also provides professionals with a unique opportunity to
receive expert feedback at a personalized level on core competencies of program
delivery. Specific details of
accreditation requirements are provided during each Triple P training course.
In preparation for accreditation,
practitioners are encouraged to begin implementation of Triple P interventions
with families and/or practice the specific competencies targeted for
accreditation either individually or with peers.
After initial intensive training, practitioners also complete a written
quiz which is collected on the accreditation day.
An accreditation day is available for each
level of Triple P professional training. On
these days practitioners have the opportunity to demonstrate the targeted
consultation skills and to receive coaching and feedback, which assists them in
attaining competence in these skills. It
is envisioned that in most instances, participants will successfully demonstrate
proficiency in accreditation competencies by the end of the day.
