Please complete an application for each program you want to be certified. Refer to Certification Requirements (http://crla.net/imtpc/certification_requirements.htm) for a complete listing of all the LEVEL 1, 2, and 3 requirements for each program to be certified.

Step 1: Complete the application found at the following link: http://crla.net/imtpc/IMTPC_Application.doc .

Step 2: Attach the necessary documentation. The "necessary documentation" called for under each criteria consists of patterns of evidence of the what, how, and when of the training program. It could/should include any or all of the following that can help the CRLA Mentor Certification Committee verify your program(s): course syllabi, titles of textbooks used, flyers/posters/memos, sample worksheets, handouts, worksheets , etc.

Step 3: Write a program narrative. Please provide an overview, one to two pages, explaining how your mentor training program(s) fulfills the requirements of the level or levels requested. The purpose of this overview is to provide the committee members with the appropriate background information necessary to certify your program. This overview should provide the following information: program history, program objectives, reporting lines, sources of funding, services and students served, program location and facility, training guidelines, and how you generally conduct your training.

Step 4: All sources must be cited in a comprehensive REFERENCE form (APA format).  The better documentation you provide the easier it will be for the committee to certify your program(s).
