Courses & Training
We offer self-directed and online learning opportunities in Core Competencies of BAP, Advanced Skills of BAP-MI, and Zoom-Enhanced Live Practicums.
Choosing Your Course
We currently offer two online, self-directed training programs: a foundational course introducing the eight core competencies of BAP and an advanced course, introducing a novel, stepped-care integration of BAP and MI to optimize outcomes.
All courses are available with or without CME/CE credits:
Continuing Education Credits (CE Version)

The MI Center for Change can issue certificates of completion for mental health counselors, social workers, allied health professionals (e.g. nurses, OT, PT), and addiction counselors, which many professional boards will accept for CE.
