CCAR Facilitators

Updates

We will use this space to share any new information for Facilitators of our Curriculum.

Manuals for Trainer purchase are located below.  Please note that due to expected delays in shipping given the upcoming holidays, COVID-19, and inclement weather, we would appreciate your placing manual orders as far in advance as possible.  

If you have recently moved or changed emails, please let us know! Email changes to cart@ccar.us

Here is a new Final Slide with Protraxx info for Eval & Ceu. Feel free to use this in place of the usual survey monkey slide.  All CCAR Slides Decks have been updated.

Register Your Training Expand

NEW PROCESS IS ONLINE

We have streamlined this process to no longer include a separate paper Training Request Form. Now, you may enter that information when you place your online order for materials.

Because this process is now handled online - all manuals must be ordered through this online platform.  We will accept both credit card and check payments, however, please be advised that manuals will not ship unless payment has been received.  Please plan accordingly.

Delivering Virtually due to Covid-19 Expand

CCAR continues to monitor our ability to train in-person due to the pandemic and restrictions for social distancing.  Given the uncertainty of when we maybe be able to offer in-person training we are allowing trainers of our curriculum to take their training online, via a platform such as Adobe Connect, Zoom, etc.

Please take a look at our page set up with more information  if you interested in training online.

Protraxx Expand
PROTRAXX LOGIN / FACILITATORS INFO PAGE

Given the demand and need to be certification board compliant we have begun implementing an online professional development platform called PROTRAXX to track all registrations, enrollment, attendance and CEU awards.  This new platform will help to eliminate fraud, and the need to utilize a separate platform/database (surveymonkey) for certificates/evaluations. It is the role of all trainers to understand this process so you may support your participants so they are registered and enrolled accurately.

Late orders Expand

LATE ORDERS

As always, All orders must be received three (3) weeks in advance of the first day of training in order to ensure the timely arrival of materials.  If you are placing your order later than the three week guideline, please include this late fee in your order.  Orders received after that time frame, may be subject to additional shipping fees.  Per the agreement, all Trainers need to inform CCAR anytime a training is scheduled.  Because Protraxx requires participants to be registered and enrolled in advance, we will be enforcing this three week deadline.  Failure to do so could result in rescheduling your training as planned.

Master Flyers Expand

NEW TEMPLATES FOR YOUR USE

We now have Master Flyer Templates for your use.  Please plan to use these with your next training as this will simplify the process of reviewing flyers when authorizing your trainings.  These flyers are available in word or PDF.   There is space for your information, logos, etc.  Let us know if you have questions.

Amazon Manuals Expand

CCAR TRAINING MANUALS ON AMAZON.COM

We are pleased to announce!  Given the need for people to continue to train virtually, you may now offer participants the option of purchasing their own manual through Amazon.

Participant Absence Expand
What to do if a participant misses class?

Due to the fast pace in which we cover modules in the CCAR Training Programs, and how experiential the learning environment is designed, it is extremely hard to make up time, be it a day of missed class, or a few hours.  As each case is different when someone misses a class/portion of the day, we offer the following guidelines:

  • If the participant and trainer are aware of the absence ahead of time, and it means missing a day, or even a portion of the day, it is best for the participant to withdraw from the training and attend a future offering.
  • If the participant misses a day/portion of the class that is unplanned (illness, car trouble, etc.) it in encouraged that the participant attend the portion they missed at a future offering.  If the time missed is less than two hours (late arrival due to unforeseen circumstances) and you feel you can effectively deliver the materials missed which would include the added perspectives/experiential opportunity, you may do so.  Please note: The time spent should be equal to the hours missed.  (e.g. Missing two hours, means spending two hours with the individual.) 

As we do not offer partial CEUs it is essential all participants complete these trainings as outlined in full.  There are no exceptions.  As we are an approved provider for the training of recovery coaches worldwide, it is our responsibility as CCAR Authorized Facilitators to cover the materials contained in a program in the time specified so the CEU award is valid. (e.g. RCA is 30 Hours of exposure to materials/content).

If you have any concerns or would like guidance on, please connect with a team member or email cart@ccar.us.

Class Size Expand

Minimum for Classes?

Due to the experiential design of our curriculum, it is strongly recommended that the class size of any CCAR Training be no less than 8 people.  Each activity is designed with some sort of group process for the value of the added perspectives that each individual brings to the training.  In turn, the timing outlined for each module provides for that dynamic discussion.  The CCAR Training programs are not lectures and rely on the diverse perspectives of the groups to enrich the transformative process we promise.

For those reasons we believe that an ideal size for a class is 12-24. 

We may ask for your rationale if this guideline is not followed, especially if we notice small class size is a regular occurence.

Training Materials

Please acknowledge the new CCAR Trainer Terms and Agreement when you complete your order.

Orders for manuals must be placed 3 weeks in advance of your scheduled training. If your training is coming up sooner than two weeks, please call the CART main office at (860) 218-9553.

Prices include shipping. All orders may be paid online with a credit card and must be paid in full before the manuals will ship.

Please note:  As we have had a significant amount of orders coming in last minute.  Due to the volume of orders we process on a daily basis, we have to increase the rush fee.  All rush orders will be charged an additional rush fee of $100.00, as well, additional shipping charges may apply.

If you do not need manuals, you will still need to register your training.  Please click here to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a Certified CCAR Trainer? Collapse

Once you have completed the CCAR Training of Trainer program you are authorized by CCAR to that particular CCAR Training. There are TOT Programs for each of the trainings we offer. We do not like to use the term certified since it is commonly mistaken as being a certified professional in this field.

Do I become Certified Recovery Coach when I complete the CCAR RCA? Expand

The answer is no. All participants who complete the RCA get a certificate of completion from CCAR. This certificate is the equivalent of 30 contact hours. Participants can use this certificate to fulfill requirements of their local certification board to become certified.

Can I train the Academy on my own? Expand

It is preferred that the CCAR Recovery Coach Academy be trained by two trainers, and that both trainers have completed the CCAR RCA Training of Trainer Program.

What is the typical schedule for the CCAR RCA? Expand

Typically the RCA is trained from Monday through Friday as five full day sessions. The curriculum is written for five full days of training. A set of trainers can alter the actual days it is trained, (Over the weekend, or held over a couple of weeks) but it is preferred that it stay a five day training program.
