• Train using time-tested learning points backed by veteran trainers
• Integrate the GHC with consumer's plan
• Employ directly related training activity to demonstrate learning (e.g., intervention)
• Completed assignments indicate completion of training
• Provide immediate relevance to DCW training
• Reduce loss of comprehension using on-the-job learning
   

Reduce time to training completion by at least 50%

• Design training curriculum that expedites learning points
• Eliminiate/reduce travel time to CMHCM
• Eliminate class waiting lists
• Enable just-in-time training by providers

As trainers of DCE's for many years, CMHCM is truly sincere in our concerns:

• Training as a priority held by Home Managers
• Training as a competency demostrated by Home Managers (training certification)
• Fidelity of training over time -- compliance motivation vs. quality assurance
• Reading accomodations for those who have difficulty reading
