• This is a self-paced course.
• This course will take approximately 3 hours to complete.

The course will generate a professional development certificate once all criteria have been met.  In order to meet this requirement, you also need to complete the PD Evaluation form at the end of the course. This form is not visible until all modules are complete. It will appear after the last module in the course. THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE CERTIFIED TO IMPLEMENT ANY OF THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF CPI. Training for the "blue card" can be obtained by attending the 2-day, face to face initial CPI training.
