Certification Trainings
UPCOMING STANDARDS CERTIFICATION TRAININGS
Important Residency Notice for Standards Certification Trainings
Participants are kindly reminded to only register for Standards Certification Trainings offered within their state of residence or employment. If your state or country does not currently offer the Standards Certification Training, you have the following options:
-
Join an Open NFSN Training, available to participants from any location (see below)
-
Host a training for your organization or stakeholders (see below to inquire)
Please note that registering for a training outside of your state will make you ineligible for certification, even if the training is completed. Thank you for helping maintain the integrity and accessibility of the program.
This list of all Standards Certification and Re-Certification Trainings currently scheduled to be offered includes whether they are open for registration to people outside of the Networks that are hosting them. Re-Certification Trainings are for individuals who completed the Standards Certification Training within the past two years and are actively applying the Standards in their work.
