20-22 participants will be selected for this training. To be considered for selection, you must meet the basic eligibility requirements above, submit an application form, and complete an interview. There is no training registration cost for participants.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the role of a Certified Peer Specialist before applying. Click here to learn more about the role and work of a Certified Peer Specialist.
First, we highly recommend filling out and submitting the online training application form using a desktop computer or tablet and not a smart phone.
It is important that you answer all required questions (marked with an asterisk) on the online training application form. There are also formatting requirements in regard to dates and other fields (such as email address). If required fields are not answered in the application form or the fields are entered incorrectly, it will register as an error and your application will not be submitted to us when you press the “submit” button.
This is what happens if you try to submit an application with errors:
Please note: If the application form or event page reloads instead of the “application submission page,” there is something wrong with your application, and you will need to follow the instructions to address any errors.
Once the application deadline has passed or 50 applications are received (whichever is sooner), trainers will be sent applications to review, contact up to 30 applicants out of the total applicant pool for virtual interviews, and then select a final cohort of training participants after conducting virtual interviews. Though a maximum of 30 people will be contacted for interviews, everyone can expect to hear back about the final decision in regard to their application.
Please know that it may take some time for participant selection to be finalized, and we ask for your patience. Final selection decisions for this training may not be made until Thursday, July 17th, 2025.

Las solicitudes recibidas son revisadas en su totalidad por los entrenadores, y una variedad de criterios pueden determinar si se le pide a un solicitante que se entreviste y posiblemente participe en una capacitación. Estos incluyen, entre otros:
Debido a que esta capacitación es un requisito previo para registrarse para el examen CPS aprobado por el estado y una vía para trabajar en una función profesional de apoyo entre pares, es posible que las solicitudes que demuestren lo siguiente no tengan prioridad en el proceso de revisión de solicitudes:

En primer lugar, es altamente recomendado que complete y envie el formulario de solicitud de capacitación en línea utilizando una computadora de escritorio o una tableta y no un teléfono inteligente.
Es importante que responda todas las preguntas requeridas (marcadas con un asterisco*) en el formulario de solicitud de capacitación en línea. También existen requisitos de formato con respecto a las fechas y otras respuestas (como, por ejemplo, la dirección de correo electrónico). Si las respuestas obligatorias no se responden en el formulario de solicitud o se ingresa las respuestas incorrectamente, se registrará como un error y su solicitud no nos será enviada cuando presione el botón “enviar”.
Esto es lo que sucede si intenta enviar una solicitud con errores:
Tenga en cuenta: si el formulario de solicitud o la página del evento se vuelve a cargar en lugar de la “página de envío de solicitud”, hay algún problema con su solicitud y deberá seguir las instrucciones para solucionar cualquier error.
Una vez que haya pasado la fecha límite de aceptar solicitudes o se hayan recibido 50 solicitudes (lo que ocurra primero), se enviarán las solicitudes a los entrenadores para que las revisen. Los entrenadores se comunicarán con hasta 30 solicitantes del grupo total de solicitantes para citar entrevistas virtuales.

Aunque se contactará a un máximo de 30 personas para entrevistas, todos pueden esperar recibir noticias sobre la decisión final con respecto a su solicitud.
Tenga en cuenta que puede llevar algún tiempo finalizar la selección de participantes y le pedimos paciencia. Las decisiones finales de selección para esta capacitación no se podrán tomar hasta el viernes 24 de enero de 2025.
