Job Coach Certification
Direct link to the training site
This is a one-time certification that you should get if you are supporting someone while they are working or looking for a job. DSPs may be eligible for a raise when getting the certification, but only as approved by your supervisor and Vocational Services. Please consult with them before taking the course.
You will need to create an account. The training is self-directed and takes about 2 hours.
The assessment is 50 questions and you have two attempts to get 80% or above. Please take your time and refer to the PDF and Power Point as needed. If you run out of attempts, contact the training team.
You will receive your certificate in an email from Arkansas Rehabilitation Services . Because it's not automated, it will not come right away, but you will receive an automated message confirming that your test was submitted. Please wait for your certificate before turning it in to ASN. If you haven't received it within 5 business days, contact the training team for support.
You only need to take the certification once, but you must complete 12 hours of follow up training annually. 6 hours are covered by your required trainings for ASN; check with Vocational Services for employment-related training opportunities to complete the other 6.
