Am I eligible for ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry membership?

• Do you have a least one-year experience as a training professional? (Classroom/online courses, not demonstrations.)

• Do you have knowledge of, or specialized training in, the substance use disorder peer recovery role - e.g. are you role certified; have you competed role competence training; are you authorized to deliver standard peer recovery training programs for initial certifications and/or renewals; are you also a supervisor who has completed a peer supervision training?

• Do you personally deliver role competence training to individuals seeking to achieve or renew a certification with ASAP-NYCB? (See video above for further information on peer recovery certified roles.) If not, do you plan on adding peer recovery role competence to your training portfolio in the near future?

If these criteria describe you, you are eligible to apply for membership, and we look forward to welcoming you to the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry.

How do I apply for the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry?

First read the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry Member Standards of Practice - click here or click on the link at the top of the page.

Please read the eligibility criteria before completing the application form. If you have any questions about your eligibility, or the application process, please contact Ruth Riddick, Program Administrator at rriddick@asapnys.org. To demonstrate your eligibility for membership, we ask you to confirm the following on your application:

• Name, content and number of these trainings delivered by you personally in the last three years (minimum required: 3 in the most recent calendar year)

We also ask for a training reference letter (see, "What is the Training Reference letter?" below)

To apply for membership, please complete and submit the Application Form here . Please note that incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

What does Trainer Registry membership cost?

</tr
Membership $60.00 (per year)
Membership fees cover costs associated with processing applications and delivering free member benefits. Applications for membership of the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry will not be reviewed without payment. Fees are non-refundable.

What is the Training Reference letter?

The training reference letter accompanying your application must appear on your referee’s letterhead and over a professional signature; and be formatted as a PDF:

• Include a clear statement of your skills and abilities as a trainer

• Include evidence of your competence and capability in training facilitation and delivery

• Include a description of a professional relationship between you and your referee of at least 6 months

• Be submitted by another training professional who has direct experience of your work, preferably as a co-facilitator

A training reference is NOT:

• a character reference

• a recovery reference

Please ask your referee to email the Training Reference letter to you in PDF. You will upload this PDF into your online application as instructed there. Your application will not be reviewed without a Training Reference letter.

What if I'm not accepted into the Trainer Registry?

We work with applicants to support their professional training goals. Applicants who are trainers but do not satisfy all of the membership requirements for the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry at this time are notified in writing of the missing criteria, offered practical suggestions for remediation on a case-by-case basis, and encouraged to reapply as soon as the missing criteria are satisfied. We understand that you may be new to the trainer role, for example, and/or that training delivery only comprises a small part of your professional responsibilities, thereby delaying your ability to build your portfolio.

We will work with you to identify opportunities for developing your expertise and experience to membership standards. Options may include:

• Identifying a more experienced trainer, possibly within your organization, to act as your mentor • Partnering with an experienced consultant trainer to lead a few trainings with you

• Other options as may be proposed on a case-by-case basis

Can organizations become Trainer Registry members?

No. Membership is for individual trainers only. Trainer Registry fees are being kept purposefully modest, and trainers may choose to self-pay or be sponsored by their training organization.

Step 2-Submit your course(s) for Training Approval

Registry membership is required for training approval.  All training for certification applications must be approved.  Approved foundational training listed here.  Approved Continuing Education (CE) listed here.  Listings updated monthly.

Completed submissions received before the 15th will be reviewed that calendar month.  Submissions completed on or after the 16th will roll over for review into the following month.  ASAP-NYCB will confirm the status of reviewed submissions in the last week of the review month.

What is the purpose of Training Approval?

To ensure the continuing value and integrity of the validated professional certifications offered by ASAP-NYCB, the Board must be assured that training prepares students to become knowledgeable and skilled in the certified role. It is the role of the Board to determine standards for demonstrating that certification candidates are, indeed, competent and ethical professionals. These standards include evidence of suitable training, as confirmed by the Board’s training approval process.

Do my trainings have to be approved?

Yes. If you want your students to qualify for professional certification (CARC; CRPA; CRPA-Provisional.), your training completion certificates must carry your individualized ASAP-NYCB training approval badge issued when your training is approved. The same requirements apply for continuing education training.

How do I submit my trainings for approval?

All training must be conducted per the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry Member Standards of Practice.

Please read the following carefully before making a Training Approval submission. Technical assistance is limited.

1. One submission only per course. We do not need additional submissions when approved courses are repeated within the time-frame of the approval (i.e. the term of your current ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry Membership). Details of your Trainer Registry # and expiration are given in the Welcome Letter you received via email when you became a member, and reproduced on your individualized training approval badge, when issued.

2. Please complete all three sections of the form and upload any requested documentation:

3. Please confirm that your course delivers competencies of both CARC and CRPA certifications; it will not be reviewed otherwise.

4. For initial certifications, we require 100% competence presence. Please indicate whether you are delivering 46 hours foundational training in one or two curricula.

5. The training approval process is a Trainer Registry member benefit. However, training approval is not automatic. We must receive a complete submission for each of your courses.

6. When issued, your individualized training approval badge will include the date of approval expiration - i.e the conclusion of your present ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry membership term (see details in the Welcome Letter sent via email when you became a member).

7. This training approval badge must be displayed on your training completion certificates to be accepted towards professional certification at ASAP-NYCB.

8. Once expired, all training approvals must be resubmitted, with any updates to your content or practice noted in the new submission.

12. Coursework will not be approved for a period of less than twelve months. If your Trainer Registry membership expires anytime before April 1, 2024, you may extend it now by making a payment through our online portal at https://tinyurl.com/ASAP-NYCB-TR-registry-fees.

Click here to access the online training approval submission form.

13. In partnership with ASAP, an option to add Social Work credits review has been added to the submission form. The processing fee per course (not per delivery) is $25. Where approved, trainers will be advised of separate implementation protocols.

Email questions to Program Manager Ruth Riddick at rriddick@asapnys.org

Submissions received before the 15th of the month will be reviewed that month. Submissions received on or after the 16th will roll over for review into the following month. ASAP-NYCB will revert to you to confirm the status of your submission in the last week of the review month.

Is there a cost to submit trainings for approval?

No. Training review is a benefit of Trainer Registry membership. Approval is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and approval is not automatic. The Board will consider relevance of the coursework to role competencies, and other factors on your submission.

Submissions received before the 15th of the month will be reviewed that month. Submissions received on or after the 16th will roll over for review into the following month. ASAP-NYCB will revert to you to confirm the status of your submission in the last week of the review month.

Training Approval will not be awarded for a period of less than twelve months. If your Trainer Registry membership expires before April 1, 2024, please extend it now at https://tinyurl.com/ASAP-NYCB-TR-registry-fees .

Do I need to be a member of the Trainer Registry to submit my trainings for approval?

Yes. Apply now for membership here.

Will ASAP-NYCB accept my training completion certificates?

Yes, if they include your individualized ASAP-NYCB training approval badge issued when your training has been approved. We will not accept any third-party training certificates.

Will ASAP-NYCB accept third-party training completion certificates (i.e. CCAR) for certification?

No. Beginning October 1, 2020, only your completion certificates with your individualized ASAP-NYCB training approval badge will be accepted (initial certifications). This requirement will be extended to continuing education training for renewal credits beginning January 1, 2021.

What do these procedures mean for my students?

Your potential students will need to know that you are a member of the ASAP-NYCB Trainer Registry and that your training offerings are approved. Be sure to add your individualized training approval badge to your marketing materials.
