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.

"We are an independently owned facility that provides behavioral programming for adults and children with challenging behaviors. When we started the program 4 years ago we looked for a method of data collection that would be cost effective, would give us options in the data presentation, and would decrease the amount of time we had to spend in data analysis or data entry. Several systems did not meet our three points of criterion; cost effective, user friendly and allow us different options in the data presentation. When we reviewed the CARES system, it fulfilled all three requirements. Since we have started using the system we have been extremely pleased with the service and the program. Whenever we have issues or questions they have been readily available and have always returned our calls within 24 hours. They have made adjustments to the program based on our feedback and we have yet to present them with a request that they could not accommodate or present us with a viable alternative. Based on the level of service and competence we would strongly recommend PCMA software solutions to any behavioral facility." Richard J Thomson MA, BCBA | ||

"Since adopting PCM we have seen a steady decline in the number of times per month that we have to physically control any of our residents... Our reisdents are learning to regain self control quicker... The use of PCM has resulted in fewer staff injuries and fewer resident to resident injuries. There have been no injuries to residents as a result of PCM procedures... If you want positive and rapid results, this is where to go for help." Brian H. Jacobson Senior Behavior Analyst/Ph.D., BCBA |
