The Incredible Years® Training Information

Applicants for PCCD grant funding announcements are required to obtain two letters of acknowledgement for their training needs: one from the IYS Developer and one from the EPISCenter. When possible, EPISCenter will coordinate statewide training here in Pennsylvania. To inquire about Letters of Acknowledgement: IYS: Jamila Reid [email protected] EPISCenter Prevention Coordinator: [email protected]

Creating a Training Budget While, Incredible Years training costs are set by the developer, the EPISCenter has created the following table that outlines costs associated with IYS training. This table represents cost(s) associated with IYS trainings in Seattle, WA as well as if a statewide coordination of IYS training would occur here in Pennsylvania.

Itemized Training Costs projected for BASIC or Dinosaur 3-day Consultation Day fiscal year 2017-2018 (costs subject to Training ADVANCE 2-day (in conjunction w/ another change) (any versions) Training training) Trainer Fee $4,950 $3,300 $1,650 Travel Day $825 $825 $0 Airfare $800 $800 $0 Car $300 $200 $100 Hotel $450 $375 $125 Trainer Fees and Travel Food $240 $180 $60 Costs Training Room Rental $300 $200 $100 Total$7,865 $5,880 $2,035 Cost Per Participant if hosted here in Pennsylvania $786.50 $588 $254.38 Max (10 participants) (10 Participants) (8 Participants) $314.60 $367.50 $135.67 Cost For Training Min (25 Participants) (16 Participants) (15 Participants) Print & Bind Training Training Materials Manual $25 $25 $25 Required Textbooks Varies Varies N/A Participant Travel Travel (mileage, hotel, food) Varies Varies Varies

Cost for Seattle-based Trainings While keeping in mind that every effort will be made to host IYS Trainings here in PA to keep training costs to a minimum, applicants should use the maximum fee for budgeting purposes. Please note that the current cost for IY training in Seattle, WA is $550 per person. Multiply this cost times the number of facilitators you propose to have trained. Make sure to add in materials, mileage, lodging, and food costs for each attendee. If your agency only has 1-3 group leaders who need training and there is no upcoming PA training in the immediate future, it might be more cost effective to consider a Seattle-based training. Required Textbooks Every participant that attends an IYS Training is required to own or have easy access to the required textbook(s) that correlate to the specific model of IYS he/she will be facilitating.
