CONTINUING EDUCATION

All providers seeking PCCG credit for training they will provide must submit an application no later than 30 days prior to the training date and prior to publicizing the training. Applications granting retro-active credits will not be accepted.

• PCCG Continuing Education Training Application – Training providers hosting one training event lasting two or fewer consecutive days should fill out this application.  Training events lasting more than two days and/or offering multiple breakout sessions should complete the Conference Application.
• PCCG Continuing Education Conference Application – Training providers hosting a training event or conference lasting more than two days and/or offering multiple breakout sessions should fill out this application.
• PCCG Continuing Education Provider Application – Training providers who will be providing several PCCG-approved trainings over the course of the year should fill out this application.

All three applications require submission of the completed application form and training details including title, description, goals, objectives, evaluation tool to be used, and promotional flyer.

Applications should be emailed to PCCG Administrator at pccginfo@gmail.com.

There is a $25 administrative review fee for all applications.
For the Training & Conference Applications, additional costs are based on hours of training as outlined below.
For the Provider Application, the additional cost is $250 and should be renewed annually from the approval date.

Core courses do not have additional fees. For other training, the fees are as follows:

Core courses, which do not incur fees above the administrative review fee, are the Fundamentals of Prevention (12 hours), Prevention Ethics (6 hours), Communication Skills (6 hours) and Cultural Competence (6 hours). PCCG approved curricula must be used and courses must be taught by a trainer with PCCG credentials in order to qualify for credit.

Applications may be emailed to pccginfo@gmail.com or mailed to PCCG-Continuing Education, P.O. Box 1922, Lawrenceville, GA  30046.  

Whether an application is mailed or emailed, application fees may be paid by check or credit card. To pay by credit card, request a PCCG PayPal invoice by email to pccginfo@gmail.com.  Include a copy of the Continuing Education Fees document that is part of the application. A small processing fee will be added to the invoice.

If paying by check, include it with a mailed application or - for an emailed application – mail the check along with a copy of the fees document to the PCCG mailing address.

Upon receipt of application and fees, PCCG will determine status of each training, conference or provider. It is the responsibility of the person or organization approved to offer training to issue certificates to training attendees. In order to maintain approved status, person or organization providing training must submit, no later than 30 days after the last date of the training, the following information:

• Name of person approved for credit & organization name, if applicable
• Title and date(s) of training
• A copy of sign in sheet that includes participant name, email address and phone number (physical address may suffice in lieu of email) and signature verifying participation.
• Evaluation summary or copies of evaluations

This training documentation may be mailed to PCCG – Continuing Education Report, PO Box 1922, Lawrenceville, GA 30046 or scanned and emailed to pccginfo@gmail.com.

Attendance information is required for persons seeking credentialing or re-certification to receive appropriate credit. Failure to submit complete attendance information in a timely manner will result in the loss of PCCG credit for that training event. Repeated failures to submit complete attendance records as required may result in a loss of training provider privileges.
