OBPP Trainer Certification

Currently we have over 1000+ individuals who have participated in the OBPP Trainer Certification Course (TCC) in the United States. Periodically, we offer a TCC for qualified individuals who are interested in becoming a certified trainer in the program. TCCs are conducted by qualified, highly experienced members of our Olweus leadership team.

Often, these training sessions include individuals from all over the country. Sometimes, we conduct TCCs to certify trainers mainly for an individual state.
