Like Pro-ACT In-service Instructor Recertification, participants must meet eligibility requirements to attend In-service Instructor Restraint Recertification training. To be eligible, an In-service Instructor must have maintained their certification for two consecutive years based on the guidelines in the Pro-ACT In-service Instructor’s Restraint Certification manual and must register and pay for recertification training prior to recertification expiration.
Because only certified instructors attend recertification training, participants are provided with an opportunity to collaboratively improve their understanding and presentation of Pro-ACT Restraint Principles while enhancing strategies for teaching.
Attendance Requirements: The In-service Instructor Restraint Recertification class is a 1/2-day class that reviews all course content, Pro-ACT Restraint Principles, and physical demonstrations. Participants must attend the entire 1/2-day of training to be considered for certification. No exceptions will be made.
Physical Expectations: Pro-ACT In-service Instructor certification requires participation in physical activities that will include, but not be limited to: stretching; balancing; bending; twisting; moving forward, backward, and side-to-side; lifting arms, and kneeling. An inability to complete these activities will prevent certification.
Dress Code: The dress code for participants of the In-service Instructor course is comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement. Shoes must be flat, with closed toes, closed heels and non-skid soles. Persons who do not comply with the dress code may be excluded from participation, jeopardizing their certification.
Outcome: This course recertifies currently certified participants to continue training the Pro-ACT Restraint Certification curriculum inside the agency in which they are employed.
Cost: $2,155 per person for the combined Pro-ACT plus Pro-ACT Restraint Recertification training. A $60 early registration discount may be available.
