Refresher Training

Introduction

If a trainer does not conduct the required training workshops, they will need to attend another training workshop in order to re-certify.

At the end of the initial three (3) year certification period, DEEP ™ trainers and/or their leadership will need to complete and return a Recertification Application, Recertification Attachment A and fee(s).
