Can I attend The STOP Program workshop and become a court-certified domestic violence provider anywhere in California? |
| |
Yes. The San Diego County Probation Department and the San Diego Domestic Violence Council have specifically reviewed this course and approved it for this certification. San Diego County's regulations are among the strictest throughout the state. Other counties have consistently honored this training course.

I am a court-approved child custody evaluator. Can I attend one of RTI's training courses and meet the conditions for domestic violence education? |
| |
Yes and no. Certain days of The STOP Program workshop and selected days from other workshops meet the requirements for advanced education in domestic violence for child custody evaluators. Since the requirements for advanced education is only four hours annually, you may attend a workshop for a half-day at a slightly reduced fee and receive this credit.
None of these trainings, however, qualify as the basic training in domestic violence for child custody evaluators. Please contact the California Family Court Services office at 415.865.7604 for information about these courses in your area.

I will be attending an upcoming RTI workshop. I want to receive CE credits, but I will have to leave the workshop an hour early. Can I receive partial credit? |
| |
Sorry, but this is strictly legislated by the various professional certification boards. You must attend the entire conference to receive any credit. RTI has tried to design workshops so that attendees may select single days, but you must still attend the entire workshop for that day.

Good news! RTI has developed a partnership with Rosalind Wiseman's EMPOWER Programs. RTI will contract with schools and youth programs directly to send our trained professional staff to implement prevention and education programs for students, staff, and parents.
