Formats for Training
Perkins training opportunities include online classes, onsite workshops, and blended workshops (a
combination of onsite/face to face and online). In addition, training content ranges in scope from basic
information to high level / intense training. Trainings provide professional development or continuing
education credits as well as micro-credentials. Earning micro-credentials puts the participant on the path to
the endorsement. Three micro-credentials are required to earn the endorsement: CVI Basics, CVI
Proficiency, and CVI Assessment. Each micro-credential is competency-based and once earned, indicates
that the participant has demonstrated the knowledge and skills identified for that micro-credential.
The micro-credentials and the endorsement are digital "badges" (images) which contain metadata
indicating the specific competencies that the participant has demonstrated. These digital images can be used
in an email signature, a Linkedin account, a resume, etc. as a means of articulating the individual's experience
and expertise.
Those needing an introductory level of training can earn the CVI Basics Micro-credential by participating
in an onsite training or a self-paced tutorial. Perkins recommends that all members of a child's team have at
least this level of training.
For those individuals who are ready for an intermediate level of training leading up to the endorsement,
we offer online and blended classes. Professionals who engage in this level of training will earn a CVI
Proficiency Micro-credential if they complete the work in a satisfactory manner. This level of training puts the
individual on the track for earning the endorsement.
