What is QA?

Quality assurance (QA) is a process for ensuring that intervention services are being delivered with fidelity, thus maximizing the recidivism reductions. QA is also a way to support staff and their skill development.

Practice Makes Perfect

“I believe like any profession the more you practice and train, the stronger you will become. Professional athletes train on a daily basis to stay in the best possible shape. We should use this theory in every profession. The more we train and learn, the better we will be at our jobs.”
– CSI QA Coach and Trainer

QA Coaching, Certification, and Training
