Application FAQs
What if my training program is still in development?
We offer pre-certification consultations for programs still in development. Our team can review your current materials and provide guidance on meeting certification standards before formal submission. Contact us at applications@carecoreplus.com to learn more about this service.
Can I submit materials in multiple formats?
Yes, our system accommodates mixed format submissions. Many organizations have training programs that combine different types of materials (e.g., PDF handouts, PowerPoint presentations, and e-learning modules). You can upload all these formats through our portal.
What if I need more time to submit my materials?
If you need additional time to gather and submit your materials, simply contact your assigned certification specialist. We can provide a reasonable extension to ensure you have time to submit a complete application package.
Do you offer certification for multiple programs?
Yes, many organizations certify multiple training programs with us. We offer multi-program discounts: 10% discount for a second program, 15% for a third program, and 20% for four or more programs submitted simultaneously.
What happens if my program doesn't meet certification standards?
If your program doesn't meet all standards initially, we provide detailed feedback and improvement recommendations. You'll have 60 days to address the identified gaps and resubmit for evaluation at no additional cost. Our goal is to help you succeed, not to create barriers to certification.
