CHWARI’s FREE virtual Community Health Worker Core Competency Training is intended to prepare participants for entry-level CHW positions in community-based social service, healthcare and behavioral health settings. Its 12 modules are each aligned with a set of competencies defined by the Rhode Island Certification Board. Each module includes 3 hours of live zoom training plus 3 hours of training activities, for a total of 72 training hours, fulfilling the 70-hour requirement for RI CHW certification. Applicants must be fluent in English.
This CHW Core Training will run over ZOOM on Friday mornings, 9:30am (ET) to 12:30pm (ET), from April 19 through July 12, 2024. *Please note that this training has different weekly hours than our past core trainings. This is 3 hours each week of zoom class and 3 hours a week of “homework.”*
This is a great time to apply for this training as participants will be encouraged to apply to our CHW Apprenticeship Program. This is an opportunity for new CHWs seeking certification to receive extra guidance, training, and monetary stipends. See here for Apprenticeship Program Requirements.
