PCP: Training

Completion of our Person-Centered Planning (PCP) online training is the first step in learning this way of working. Developing a skillful Person-Centered Planning practice with integration into daily work requires ongoing learning, supervision, direct observation of practice, and performance-based feedback.

Our training provides an extensive overview to the core components and elements of Person-Centered Planning practice. The training is geared toward practitioners who seek to learn Person-Centered Planning. Service participants, peer supports, and family supports may complete the training.

Learning objectives

There are six learning objectives for our training.

  • Describe the 3Ps of the Person-Centered Planning model.

Three modules with a certificate of completion

Our training features three modules. It may take you up to two hours to complete the training. The three modules should be completed in order, but not necessarily in one sitting. You may pause the training at any time. If you exit the training completely, your progress will be saved and you can return to where you left off the next time you log in. A certificate of completion is available for people who complete all three modules in order. Two continuing education hours (CEHs) are earned for completion of this course.
