HOW IT WORKS You are assigned a CAP Trainer who will follow you throughout the program. You receive a 2-hour, one-on-one, online interview with your CAP Trainer. They will explain the basics of the program and how the E-Learning platform works. Each training is split into several modules with an evaluation upon completion of each unit. This allows you to fully integrate each step of the process before moving on. Feel free to ask your CAP trainer for answers to any questions or to clarify any doubts you may have about the process. Once the online E-Learning sessions have been completed, you will have another 2-hour, one-on-one interview with your CAP trainer to help you set up your own session. Tell us how many artwork kits you need for your therapeutic session. The material will be shipped directly to your center. For an easy set up of the sessions, you have access through a monthly or yearly membership to the music as well as all documents needed. Our team provides unlimited email support as you implement your CAP sessions. Feel free to ask our team of professionals for more detailed final reports. Ask about in-person training
