Each module has a self-administered quiz, which the candidate will complete and submit to COVA prior to the beginning of the academy. The classroom portion of the training will be a 40-hour academy presented in five consecutive days. Each day will be comprised of two intensive study modules. Each module will include experiential exercises designed to measure competence in the skill-building area. This includes the NVAA curriculum and tests, all written materials for classroom modules, morning and afternoon break refreshments, group prizes, and completion certificate.
Some partial scholarships are available.
CVAA will be held in TWO locations in 2001. When completing the CVAA application, the participant will indicate which academy they wish to attend. If possible, it is hoped that applicants from the Eastern Plains will attend the Academy in Limon and those from the Western Slope will attend the Academy in Glenwood Springs. At this time, Colorado does not offer a certification for victim advocacy. The certificate of completion should not be construed as a certification of any kind.
