  • Please do not put your name in this section.
  • CPS Participant Training Contract

  • CPS Participant Training Contract:  I understand that the CPS training is a professional training and that I will be held to professional training standards that have been set by the Missouri Credentialing Board. I further understand that if I do not adhere to the standards listed below, I may be asked to leave the training by the instructor and no refund will be issued.

    Expectations for the Training

    • You must attend all training sessions. If an emergency arises you are allowed to miss up to three hours total. If you miss more than three hours, you are not eligible to receive a certificate of completion nor take the exam. (This includes reporting late, extra time out for breaks/lunches, etc.  Time away from the training is designed for emergency situations only and must have been approved by the trainers—this does not give you the ability to leave early from the training if you attended all week).
    • Actively engage in training sessions. Be alert and attentive to presenters and activities. Don’t be disruptive. Wait until after training sessions to have all non-training-related conversations. (If you are sleeping—you are not participating).  For virtual trainings, you must have your camera turned on and the instructor must be able to see you on camera at all times.  If you are not actively participating in sessions and on camera at all times, you will be considered absent.
    • Be respectful and courteous in all presentations.
    • Turn off cell phones during presentations. Do not use telephones or text messaging during training sessions. (You will be able to check cell phones, emails, etc. during you hourly breaks or during lunch).
    • Turn off any personal music players, electronic organizers, and other electronic devices during presentations.
    • Personal Hygiene—During this training you are expected to always present yourself in a professional manner. It’s a large part of appropriate business conduct. The training rooms are often small and therefore be aware of others around you. Examples would include: daily baths or showers, using deodorant, hair-washing and avoiding offensive personal habits such as spitting and passing gas. Hand washing and the use of hand sanitizers has gained importance as a protection against the spread of illnesses. If you do wear perfume, please ensure that it is to a minimum as some attendees may have allergies to certain fragrances.
    • If the trainer believes you are under the influence of any substance you will be removed immediately from the training.
    • If you are removed from the training for any reason, your proctor will be notified by the Missouri Credentialing Board.
    • It is at the discretion of the trainers as to whether an attendee will be removed from the training and no refund will be issued by the Missouri Credentialing Board.
    • I understand the training fee is nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to another training date or location.
    • You must fill out an evaluation at the conclusion of the training in order to receive your training certificate.  Please note that a training certificate is not the same as being a credentialed peer.
    • Therefore, after the training you understand you must pass the CPS exam and then in order to become a credentialed peer, you must complete the Certified Peer Specialist application and submit to the Missouri Credentialing Board for review.  Once you are approved you will receive a welcome letter from the MCB as well as a CPS credentialing certificate.
    I understand the training fee is nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to another training date or location.

  • Payment Information

    I acknowledge I have read and understand MCB’s Policy and Procedures regarding obtaining an exception from either the Department of Mental Health or the Missouri Credentialing Board. If I am denied an exception from either agency, I am not entitled to a refund, as the $75.00 fee was for the training and not the Certified Peer Specialist application.

    I understand the training fee is nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to another training date or location.
