FAQs:

Q: Do I need to attend the full workshop?
A: Yes, in order to receive your certificate of completion and be eligible to be a certified NCAST Instructor, you must be present for all 8 partial-training days and appropriate hours and complete the full agenda.

Q: I only want to teach the Feeding scale (or Teaching). Can I just attend for that?
A: All of our trainers must learn both scales. All NCAST PCI trainers are certified to teach both Feeding and Teaching scales. No exceptions are made. You may choose to teach only one, but will meet all the same qualifications as all PCI trainers.
