In-Person Training Seminars
Training seminars are structured to meet the specific needs of those being trained. Training is intensive, didactic and very hands-on. The preferred approach is to arrange two training sessions several weeks apart to allow for a period of time between sessions during which the trainee(s) can practice administering and scoring the exam. However, with adequate preparation, most examiners can complete the training within a single 5-day* training session.
*Some examiners with extensive infant experience and pre-visit preparation can achieve certification in less than 5 days.
