About being an instructor
Instructors must conduct a minimum number of workshops during their certification period, as well as complete the identified method of evaluation for that year.
For Elements Instructors, the minimum number of workshops is three every two years.
For Advanced Instructors, the minimum number is two workshops each year.
You must conduct those workshops before your certification expires and the workshops can either be an Instructor-led Certification, Instructor-led Recertification, or Blended Recertification type of workshop.
If you have completed the minimum number of workshops, but haven’t finished the evaluation, you have 3 months following your expiration date to do so. Once you have done so, you will be recertified.
Keep in mind that during that time you are expired and may not conduct workshops. If you fail to complete the evaluation during those 3 months following expiration, you will be ineligible to recertify.
If you’re expired as an instructor and ineligible to recertify either because you weren’t able to meet the requirements or you took some time away from instructing, you can reactivate your status.
If you’re still with the same organization, simply attend either 2 or 4 days of an Instructor Certification Course (yes there is a cost for this).
The number of days for that course will depend on how long you’ve been expired and if you don’t have your instructor materials or they are out of date, you will need to purchase those separately as well.
No more than 40 may attend a workshop. Please make sure that you also have enough room for everyone.
Yes! Each level and type of workshop has its own length of training time, as outlined in the Terms of Use you received as an instructor.
We understand that not all workshops always run the same, with some running longer and some shorter. As such, we give some flexibility to that length of time.
The minimum length of time for a workshop must not be any less than 80% of the listed time and we can help you get the most out of your in-class training time.
Yes! RIGHT RESPONSE does not license and certify private individuals to become instructors. Those wishing to become instructors, must be licensed under an organization.
About our trainings
While it’s best to recertify before your expiration date, we understand that situations happen where you may end up missing your Recertification Workshop. In those instances, you have 3 months beyond your expiration date to attend a Recertification Workshop.
Keep in mind that your certificate is still expired during that time. The 3 months merely means you are eligible to attend a Recertification-type of workshop.
After those 3 months, you will need to attend a Certification Workshop to obtain a certificate.
Unfortunately whether you need to recertify is a question we can’t exactly answer. People attend workshops for many reasons, whether it’s for personal knowledge, professional development, legal reasons, etc.
Ultimately we encourage you to check with your instructor and/or organization to find out what their requirements are for maintaining certification.
Keep in mind that once your certificate expires, you are expired and if you later find out you do need to recertify, so may have to attend a Certification, rather than a Recertification Workshop.
If you won’t be returning, you can still be certified to the level of training you finished.
If you’ll be returning, you do have 6 months to complete the course. Keep in mind that your certificate is based on when you started the class, not when you finished.
Definitely not! We recognize that everyone and every organization has its own needs for training. Our curriculum is modular so that people who need more training can receive more training and those who need less receive less. Not training to those physical skills simply means you’re not certified in those skills. You still will however, receive a certificate.
Unfortunately we can’t really provide a fair comparison of RIGHT RESPONSE with other de-escalation training programs, because we aren’t experts on their curriculum. What we can provide is information about RIGHT RESPONSE, so that you can make as informed a decision as possible when it comes time to choose.
