DHHS-SAMHS is in the process of creating standard non-academic training curriculum for the eight Competency Domains, using a train-the-trainer model for dissemination. As each curriculum is completed and available for a train-the-trainer session, trainers can apply.

NA Trainer Standards V2, current as of November 21, 2019.

NA Trainer Application Form (last page of the above trainer standards).

NOTE: You are required to attend a separate Train-the-Trainer session for each MHRT/C domain you wish to teach, even if you have applied in the past for a different domain.

If you have previously applied and were approved for another domain, you have met the core non-academic MHRT/C standards and it is not necessary to re-submit the same materials, e.g. official transcripts, reference letters, etc.  However, you must meet the trainer-specific requirements for each domain you wish to teach. 

For each additional domain you are applying to teach, please forward the following documentation:

• Completed application form
• Documentation of professional development over the past two years in content areas related to the applicable domain
• One reference letter specifically addressing practical knowledge of content in applicable domain
