PCMA has moved to training using all digital materials. Due to this, we ask that you please bring a laptop or other device that you can use to get onto PCMA's website and complete all of the required forms. This is necessary to become certified and pass the course. 

PCM is a certification preparation course taught by certified PCM Instructors. PCM was developed by board cerified behavior analysts and is the first behavior analysis-based system of crisis management. Participants are trained in prevention and diffusion of dangerous behaviors. Also taught is the use of dynamic holding, which provides for maximum feedback but does not produce disorientation, discomfort, or pain and are the closest to natural body movement and positioning.

 Certification is good for 1 year from date of issue.
