I own a standard kit with DVDs. May I upgrade to the Flash Drive with the videos embedded in the PowerPoint slides?

Please call to speak with one of our Educational Consultants. After verifying the original kit ownership, we can quote a one-time Flash Drive purchase.

Do I need to order Parent’s Guides?

Dr. Popkin explains the importance of Parent’s Guides: First, the Parent’s Guide provides important information during the program, and then becomes an invaluable resource for parents to refer to after the course is over.  As such, it improves the parent’s ability to learn, retain, and use the information from the videos, activities, and other components of the course sessions. Second, the evidence of effectiveness for each program is based on research published in peer reviewed journals. These national research studies included evaluations of Active Parenting courses taught by leaders using the curriculum as intended with each parent having a Parent’s Guide. Therefore, to maintain the fidelity of the program, every parent should have their own Parent’s Guide.

LEADER TRAINING WORKSHOP QUESTIONS:

Do I have to attend a Leader Training Workshop to use your material?

No, you are not required to attend a workshop to facilitate Active Parenting programs; however, we do recommend it.  At a Leader Training Workshop, you will learn how to explain concepts with parents, receive marketing tips, network with other educators, earn Continuing Education units/hours, and begin the first step to becoming a certified Leader.

Is there a charge for the workshops?

Yes, there is a charge for the workshops.  We offer a variety of formats of training, and you can find the pricing on our website or in the most recent catalog.

Is the kit included in the price of the workshop?

No, the kit is not included; however, we offer workshop participants a 15% discount on the Standard Program kit (10% off Jump-Start kit) if purchased with the workshop registration.  Discount is good from time of registration to the end of the workshop date.

What will I receive at the workshop?

Each participant receives access to the workshop, a Leader’s Guide, Parent Guide, certification packet, marketing material and a Center of Attendance (Continuing Education credits from NBCC, if needed).

I received the books for the workshop; how do I purchase just the videos?

To facilitate the program correctly, facilitators need the full kit.  The extra Leader’s Guide can remain a clean copy in case you need a replacement or extra copy.  Parent Guides are essential to facilitating parent classes, so an extra copy is a bonus.  We offer workshop registrants 15% off any program kit format for

I attended the Active Parenting Now/Teen Combo Day workshop, and I received a Participant’s Guide.  When will I receive the Leader’s Guide?

The Combo Day workshop uses the Participant’s Guide because it contains the sections of the Leader’s Guides that are relevant to the workshop.  Also, the Participant’s   Guide helps to keep the cost of the workshop at a reasonable rate.  When you purchase the program kit, there’s a Leader’s Guide included.

How many CEs (Continuing Education) are earned?

CEs vary depending on the length of the workshop.  Participants earn 1 CE for every hour of training.

Can you send a Trainer to us?

Definitely!  We can create a custom workshop for your organization.  You pick the curriculum, # of participants, date, and location; we will send one of our National Trainers to facilitate the training.

How do I become a certified Leader?

To become a certified Leader, you must follow these steps without deviation:

• Attend a workshop conducted by a certified Trainer – or – attend a webinar – or – complete the Online Leader Training Workshop
• Conduct a parenting class using the appropriate program kit and parent guides.  There is no set number of parents needed.
• Complete the certification paperwork and return to the training department.

I attended a workshop years ago; do I need to attend another one?

It is only mandatory to attend another workshop if the program has been updated or changed since attending the original workshop.  With proof of attendance, participants can take the updated webinar for 50% off the training cost with the purchase of the new program kit.

If I attend one workshop, will that certify me in all the other programs?

Although many of our programs share some of the same concepts and theories, the specific details of the program topic make it necessary to attend each training workshop for each program.

What’s the difference between the Webinar Leader Training Workshop (WLTW) and the Online Leader Training Workshop (OLTW)?

Webinars are live workshops facilitated via Zoom.  We have a preset calendar of dates for most of our programs.  The Online LTW is a self-study workshop that utilizes a digital, interactive Leader’s Guide.  Participants are required to read the Leader’s Guide and Parent Guide, watch the videos, add comments to the discussion forum, and pass the final assessment with a score of 80% or better.  All materials for the Online LTW are digital.

What do you receive with the Online LTW?

Participants receive 60-day access to the workshops (Part 1 and Part 2), digital copy of the Leader’s Guide, Parent Guide, and Workbook (for AP4 only).

Will I be certified at the end of the workshop?

At the end of a workshop, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance recognizing a participant’s attendance.  However, to become a certified Leader, you must follow the certification guidelines.

Do I need to attend a Leader Training Workshop to become a Trainer?

• Attending a Training of Trainers workshop.
• Complete a presentation of an assigned segment of the program.
• Conduct a parenting class using the material.
• Pass the post-test with a score of 90% or higher.

Do you have any workshops for the Christian Active Parenting (CAP) program?

CAP is derived directly from the Active Parenting 4^th Edition program; therefore, you can take the workshop for that program, and then use CAP to become certified.

I’m looking for a workshop done in Spanish.

Active Parenting provides a Spanish version of all our main programs.  However, since most Leaders using the Spanish material are bilingual, bilingual participants take the English-version workshop, and implement the program in Spanish.  We can provide a customized workshop in Spanish.  Contact the Training Department for details.

Do you have a workshop for Crossroads of Parenting and Divorce?

Crossroad is a hybrid of the 8-session Cooperative Coparenting program.  We will offer a webinar once the new program is updated.

ONLINE PARENTING CLASS QUESTIONS:

Do you offer additional support if we have a problem with a child?

Our support is limited to technical support questions regarding getting into your course.  For more help with parenting issues, we recommend that you take an Active Parenting course in your area from a certified Active Parenting Leader if one is available.  Click here for providers who have registered their classes with us.

If you have a more serious problem with a child, please contact a behavioral health provider in your area.  Your child’s school or pediatrician should be able to recommend options in your community. The CDC offers the following resources for finding treatment:

• Psychologist Locator, a service of the American Psychological Association (APA) Practice Organization.
• Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Finder, a research tool by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).
• Find a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, a search tool by the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
