Process

Each training center must apply to the NBPCB for approval status. At least one member of the board of directors of the NBPCB and a second person designated by the board member will make a site visit to the orientation center to perform evaluation duties. The team will conduct an evaluation of the program based on the “Orientation Center Evaluation Checklist.”

An orientation center that meets these standards will be granted approval status. An agency that is not granted approval will be provided with the written report which shows the center’s areas for needed improvement.

Continued approval is contingent upon follow up evaluation by the NBPCB on a tri-annual basis (every three years). One board member will make a site visit to review the evaluation checklist.
