Two most commonly used crisis intervention training programs are described as follows:
1) The Mandt System
Training: Mandt uses a “Train the Trainer” model. At least one staff member attends a 2 to 5 day
training session, depending on the level of training required by the school district. District staff
must be trained on an annual basis and the length of training will vary based on district needs.
Certification: District trainers must be recertified by the Mandt program every two years.
Methodology: The Mandt System teaches the use of a graduated system of alternatives which
uses the least amount of external management necessary in all situations.
2) The Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Training Program:
Training: CPI recommends annual staff training. The program offers two training options: a
one or two day staff training session with a CPI instructor or a 4-day Instructor Certification
training program, using the “Train the Trainer” model, for selected staff members who then
provide training for the district staff.
Certification: Certified instructors of CPI maintain their certifications on a 4-year cycle. Each
year, instructors must teach a minimum of 18 hours (2 formal programs) and pay an annual
membership fee. In the second year, the instructor must take an online exam, at no cost. In the
fourth year, instructors are expected to attend one of six different qualifying renewal programs,
including written and physical competency testing on the CPI program.
Methodology: CPI provides a holistic system for defusing escalating behavior and safely
managing physically aggressive behavior. CPI methods focus on effective communication and
an understanding of human psychology during aggressive moments.
