Thank you for considering CAPS Academy as your choice for your Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification Training, we are honored to support your learning journey!
October 21st-November 13th (4 weeks)
Mondays - Thursdays: 5:30 PM-9:30 PM
Deadline to apply: October 4, 2024 at 5:00 PM or when we reach capacity (whichever comes first)
Applicants apply to the Academy via online application. Because we have ongoing cohorts, you can submit an application anytime for an upcoming cohort. Applying does not guarantee an interview, however; all students will be notified of the status of their application. If applicants are accepted into the program, scholarships will be available.
We conduct interviews using a panel format so you may be interviewing along side other applicants. Treat this as you would a job interview. Please do not attend the interview while driving or if you are in a distracting location. Please log on to the Zoom interview using a laptop or computer only.
After the panel interview we will break off for one on one time and get to know you individually. At this point we will also be asking you to demonstrate your knowledge of basic Zoom features such as naming yourself, raising your hand and using reactions.
Those who identify as a Peer in recovery who are age 18 or older and who have personal lived experience with a mental illness, addiction, justice involvement and/or a close family member with lived experience. A GED or HS Diploma is not required to participate, however; you will need this to be eligible to take the State Exam.
All CAPS applicants are required to take the Digital Literacy Assessment using only a laptop or computer. You will be unable to access the assessment from a phone or tablet.
Please go to http://www.digitalliteracyassessment.org . You only need to take the Basic Computer Skills assessment. Once you receive your score, please attach it to the application. A passing score is 85% or above. You can take the test as many times as you’d like before submitting your score. Anyone other than the applicant taking the exam, will result in their application being denied.
If you are interested in participating in CAPS Academy, we invite you to add your name to our interest list.
