Following Provisional Certification, which occurs in Module 6: Putting It All Together, the training coordinators will enroll specialists into their Post CORE Required Levels. Those courses are as follows:
CW 1006: Permanency Planning
*CW 1020: Family Centered Services for FCS Specialists
*CW 1020 is not required to be completed prior to carrying a partial caseload, as it is offered less frequently.
