Description:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black;\">This course is for individuals who plan to become fidelity reviewers for IPS programs, for those who want to sharpen their skills as reviewers, IPS supervisors and agency quality assurance managers who want to have a better understanding of the IPS fidelity scale, and those who want to learn more about IPS Supported Employment. To earn a certificate of completion, students must complete all of the units and pass a test (which students may take a second time, if needed.) The course is a first step to becoming a fidelity reviewer &#8211; it does not certify participants who finish to become reviewers, but it is a first step to learning about fidelity or for brushing up on IPS fidelity review skills. Individuals who plan to become fidelity reviewers should also shadow an experienced IPS fidelity reviewer one or more times .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black;\"><strong>Please note:<\/strong> This course focuses on the Supported Employment Fidelity Scale (revised 2008) commonly used by IPS programs in the U.S. and around the world. If your interest is in the IPS-Y Scale (for programs that serve young adults ages 16 to 26), we offer a virtual training for small groups. Please contact sarah.swanson@nyspi.columbia.edu for the IPS-Y virtual training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Course Schedule:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black;\">The course has three units plus an exam. Each unit will take a minimum of one hour to complete. Unit 1 will close two weeks after the course opens, unit 2 will close four weeks after the course opens, and unit 3 will close six weeks after the course opens. Participants can work ahead. A seventh week is provided to take the exam, but if a participant thinks he may need to take it a second time, he should take the exam early in that week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:jes.marbacher@nyspi.columbia.edu\">sarah.swanson@nyspi.columbia.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#550527;\"><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-left\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:18;--minFontSize:18;line-height:1.89;\">Upcoming Course Dates<\/h3><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container title-sep-container-right\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-1\">\n<table style=\"height: 154px;\" width=\"522\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th align=\"left\"><strong>Start Date<\/strong><\/th>\n<th align=\"left\"><strong>Registration Dates<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">March 2, 2026<\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">January 26, 2026 \u2013 Feb. 20, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">June 8, 2026<\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">May 4, 2026 \u2013\u00a0 May 29, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\">September 14, 2026<\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">August 10, 2026 \u2013\u00a0 Sept. 4, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":75,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":367,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18117","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18117"}],"version-history":[{"count":43,"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21277,"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18117\/revisions\/21277"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/75"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipsworks.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
