The BIPP Educational Series is training curriculum that is replacing TCFV’s BIPP: Dedication. After feedback from various professionals in the BIPP field, CJAD-funded program coordinators and facilitators, attendees from Dedication and the BIPP Annual Conference, TCFV chose to re-organize and expand BIPP training workshops to meet all levels of continuing education for BIPP professionals.

The new educational series will be comprised of two parts. Part one will focus on foundational information that includes beginner-intermediate level topics. Part two will focus on intermediate-advanced level topics. The educational series is comprised of a combination of classroom and self-paced online modules. Each part will guarantee 20 hours of CJAD-approved hours. By attending both parts, attendees will obtain the 40 hours total.
