The PCM Train the Trainer Model
The PCMA employs a “train the trainer” model to allow user organizations to maintain the PCM certifications of their staff in a cost effective way.
Unlike other systems, all PCM Instructors are “first generation” instructors. That is, they have all been trained by the expert instructor trainers employed by PCMA. The quality of training is not “watered down” by allowing others to train instructors.
Instructors can either be trained at the user organization (if there are enough participants) or at the PCMA headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale Florida.
Typically, instructors are employed by user organizations and train the staff of the organization.

"PCM has given the ADT (adult day training) staff a better understanding of the use of prevention strategies. As an instructor, I focus on the verbal strategies with staff. The number of hands on interventions in ADT has decreased due to the use of PCM non-physical strategies." Dierdra Walker Program Director | ||

"Staff injuries are WAY down since we adopted PCM. Our staff turnover is WAY down as well. I believe the practical testing strategies used in the PCM classes work well." Brent Smith |
