Additional Required Individual Training

To receive a certificate for the course, all learners must complete two one-on-one practice sessions with an experienced MI coach, during which they will demonstrate their skills and receive objective feedback on their strengths and areas for growth. These practice sessions are professionally coded using the universally accepted MICA tool. Each of these individual learning experiences is completed via Zoom. (Instructions on how to schedule will be provided to you in the course guide.) These are part of the course requirements. If you miss a one-on-one practice session, you will not receive credit for the course.
