What is a Licensed Agency? A licensed agency has sponsored a trainer to complete the BTG Training of Trainers and has signed a license agreement with CCHCP. Beginning in February, 2009, we will offer multi-tiered licensing options. A Level 1 license will permit licensed agencies to perform training for their own staff or interpreter pool only. A Level 2 license will permit licensed agencies to perform training for participants who are not their employees within their area. A Level 3 license will be on a case-by-case basis and will be available to organizations that need a customized agreement. If you are an individual looking for BTG training: Contact either the Cross Cultural Health Care Program or any of our Level 2 licensed agencies for further training information. Please note that enrolling indiscriminately in a BTG training offered by an organization whose license is not current or whose license is not recognized by CCHCP may impact your eligibility to become a BTG trainer or your ability to receive a valid training. For more information, please contact us at bridgingthegap@xculture.org or (206) 860 0329.
