ABOUT ICDVP Certified
20/20 HOUR DV TRAINING
20/20-Hour Domestic Violence Training offers a comprehensive overview of basic concepts, preparing participants to serve as advocates and volunteers in the field of domestic violence. This training consists of 20 hours of self-paced online modules provided by the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV), followed by 20 hours of in-person training with KAN-WIN and Apna Ghar. Participants are required to complete the ICADV's 20-hour online modules and submit to KAN-WIN staff before attending in-person training on November 7th.
To complete this course and receive your certificate, participants must attend all in-person sessions and complete all ICADV Modules. Participants are only allowed to be absent for less than 3 hours. If a participant misses any portions of training sessions, they MUST complete make up work.
It is ICADV (Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence) and ICDVP (Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professionals) policy that the online modules be completed before beginning the in-person portion. The online modules serve to provide foundational information on the topics covered as part of the in-person training.
