CHWARI is offering TWO FREE Core Competency Community Health Worker Trainings in the coming weeks. One is a Standard Pace and takes place over 13 weeks, meeting once a week over zoom. One is an Accelerated Pace and takes place over 7 weeks, meeting twice a week over zoom. Both contain the modules and hours necessary to apply for your Community Health Worker Certification with the RICB.
Please apply for the Standard CHW Core Training if your schedule accommodates only one evening of live class a week and one set of assignments. This option will likely appeal to those who are employed full time and perhaps have significant other familial responsibilities or other extra-work activities. CHW Core Competency Training – Standard Pace runs April 20th – July 13, Wednesdays, 6-8pm
Please apply for the Accelerated CHW Core Training if your schedule can fairly easily accommodate two evenings of live zoom classes a week, with two corresponding sets of assignments. This option will likely appeal to people who are unemployed, part time employed, or full time employed but with few other time commitments and who wish to get certified as soon as possible. CHW Core Competency Training – Accelerated Pace runs May 9 – June 23, Mondays & Thursdays 6-8pm
Possible reasons to choose the Accelerated option:
-you work better and enjoy making connections among content areas when your learning is concentrated
-your employer has an upcoming deadline for you to obtain your CHW certification.
-you want to be certified as a CHW as soon as possible so you can apply for Medicaid reimbursement for your work when the federal government approves that for our state.
-for summer planning, you’d like to be done by late June rather than mid July
