Selection Criteria:
Because of the high demand for this training course and the limited space, we have strict criteria for admission: Candidates must have the opportunity to do ongoing home visits, ideally weekly with at least one family, even if their regular job is not as a home visitor, such as an administrator. Candidates must also have the opportunity to train others, perhaps because they are supervisors or they will be granted time to train colleagues. The more impact a certified trainer can have, the better.
