The Prevention Specialist-In Training, formerly known as the Registered Prevention Worker (RPW), is an entry-level designation for prevention professionals in Wisconsin. The Prevention Specialist-in Training certificate allows an individual to gain prevention work experience in performing each of the prevention domains. The Prevention Specialist-In Training certificate may be renewed twice and will be valid for approximately 4 to 6 years, unless the certificate holder successfully completes the requirements necessary to obtain the Prevention Specialist certificate. Prevention Experience: Only the time worked (either paid or unpaid) in the domain areas counts toward the experience requirement. Prevention work does not necessarily require supervision to be counted toward certification.
