This training will focus on the Youth PQA and prepare participants to reach 80% reliability in their final test and become endorsed in the Youth PQA. In addition, this training will allow participants to become endorsed in the School Age PQA by reaching 80% reliability in a separate test.
The content of the training will focus primarily on the Youth PQA. However, the Youth and School Age PQA are broadly similar, with some small differences reflecting the different developmental needs of younger children.
