Attendance

We expect all Trainees enrolled in the Hybrid In-Person Training Program to attend all synchronous sessions. If you cannot attend a particular session, that’s okay! Please let a Training Coordinator know and we’ll work to get you caught up.

However, we ask that all Trainees make reasonable efforts to attend in-person sessions; we’ve worked really hard to make training accessible and low-impact this year while maintaining our high standards and program integrity.

Questions should be directed to a Coordinator.

End of Training: Next Steps

The next step is to complete the RASAN Contact Certification Examination (RASAN-CCE).

RASAN Contact Certification Examination (CCE)

Submit Intent by Saturday, November 12th
Take CCE Sunday, November 13th – Sunday, November 20th

Various times. Approximately 30 minute sessions.

The next step is to complete the RASAN Contact Certification Examination (RASAN-CCE). The RASAN-CCE is not required for RASAN Uncertified Membership; however, Uncertified Members may not participate in RASAN-sponsored contact protocols (that is, they may not take appointments as representatives of RASAN). 
For those of you who would like to pursue RASAN Certified Membership, you must submit an Intent to Certify. We ask all of you to please submit this intent as soon as possible, but no later than Saturday, November 12th. Shortly afterward, we will reach out to schedule your RASAN-CCE, which will occur Sunday, November 13th – Sunday, November 20th. Additionally, you must complete all required training components by that deadline. If you do not complete all Understanding Checkpoints by that deadline, you will not be eligible to take the RASAN-CCE at this time, nor will you be eligible for RASAN Uncertified Membership. If this poses a significant challenge for you, please let me know.
If you do not want to pursue Certified Membership, don’t submit an Intent to Certify. We’ll award Uncertified Membership to you after the deadline to submit Intent has passed.
We encourage all of you to learn more about the RASAN-CCE. You may view the Info SheetInfo Video, or visit the Examination page on the RASAN Training website. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
