Face-to-Face YQCA Training
- Face-to-Face YQCA training is also available to satisfy annual training requirements. Please note that these training courses must be facilitated by a YQCA Certified Instructor. In-person YQCA training courses cost $3 per individual regardless of age.
- You will have to complete a Pre-test before the training and log back in after the training for the Post-Test to get your certificate. Instructions on how to find Post-Test and Certificate.
Web-Based YQCA Training
- Web-based annual training is available through the YQCA learning management system. The online YQCA course costs $12 per individual regardless of age.
- Each session purchased includes three modules - a knowledge builder, a skills lab, and a quiz. The knowledge builder is where content is delivered. The skills lab provides an opportunity to apply the content. The quiz test knowledge. To receive certification, 80% must be achieved on the 10-question quiz. These modules, completed in their entirety, will provide 2-3 hours of experience. Features of the online modules include:
- Characters at each age level to guide youth through the course.
- Free navigation within the course so youth can spend as much or as little time on a particular topic based on their personal needs.
- Variety of learning opportunities to accommodate various learning styles and modalities.
- Audio button on each slide so youth can listen to audio rather than read the on-screen text.
YQCA Testing Out
- Test-out options are only available to youth in the first year of Intermediate (age 12) and Senior (age 15) age levels. There is no test-out option for Juniors. If passed, youth will not be required to complete the annual training requirements for the remainder of their current age level (Intermediates: 12-14; Seniors: 15-18). Each test consists of 50 randomly selected questions and has a pass rate of 80% or better for certification.
- Participants will have only one chance to take the test-out option. If youth fail, they will not be provided another opportunity to test out of that age level. Participants who do not pass will be prompted to take the instructor-led training or web-based training annually.
- If the youth passes, payment for the completed test-out course will be required after the completion of the test. No payment is required to attempt the test. Test-out costs are:
- Intermediate: $36 ($12 x 3 years of certification)
- Senior: $48 ($12 x 4 years of certification).
- If passed, youth will receive access to online modules that correspond with the age levels, found on the user's "My Library" page.
