Online Learning with CCMI

MI skills demonstrations and MICA coding are an opportunity to record an interaction with a CCMI trainer acting as a standardized patient/client and have it coded by a MICA coder. Each session is 30-minutes, and the conversation is spontaneous. The purpose is to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your use of MI skills and strategies. Afterwards, you will receive a copy of the recording, along with a self-reflection form. Your coding results will arrive within 2 weeks of your scheduled skills demonstration.  Learning MI is a journey. We all start out at different places and proceed at a pace that works for us. Knowing where you are on your journey, just like knowing where you are on the map, helps you recognize how far you’ve come and consider where you want to go.    Note: This course listing is for a skills demonstration recording and coding only. Skills demonstration and coding can also be purchased with a 30-minute feedback session.  Skills demonstration, coding, and coaching   Read more
