Training Room to Real Crisis
The Nonviolent Crisis Intervention® training provides a powerful framework for safely managing disruptive behavior. To reinforce the universal, evidence-based concepts that underpin this framework, many professionals find our general Behavioral Safety & De-escalation practice test to be an invaluable study aid.
Knowing the difference between a supportive stance for an anxious individual and a directive approach for a defensive one is critical, and it requires practiced, fluent recall under pressure.
Our CPI® Practice Test is designed to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application. This is your tool to drill the specific verbal and non-verbal techniques you’ve learned.
We provide a safe, simulated environment to test your decision-making, ensuring that when a crisis occurs, your response is not just a guess, it’s an ingrained, effective, and safe strategy.
