Does Triple P America conduct all of the Triple P courses, or can our organization send personnel to become trainers?
Triple P America (TPA) conducts all of the Triple P professional training courses and does not use a “train the trainer” model. TPA has a license agreement with Triple P International (TPI) requiring that all Triple P training in the U.S. be conducted by TPA trainers. This requirement is in place for two reasons: (1) quality assurance consistent with Triple P’s standards worldwide; and (2) so that licensing fees for each course contribute via TPI to the ongoing scientific testing, refinement, and expansion of Triple P programming, applications, and resources. Even though TPA does not use a train the trainer model, an organization’s supervisory staff who have completed a Triple P course are free to supervise their Triple P trained staff in the implementation of Triple P programs with families.
