ODP Announcement 21-029 provides information on the registration process for Office of Developmental Programs (ODP’s) Virtual QM Certification classes to be held July–December 2021. ODP offers this QM Certification curriculum in order to build system capacity and ensure success in applying QM principles and practices. The curriculum is aimed at enhancing the QM knowledge and skills of ODP staff and stakeholders across the service delivery system

Class design considers the needs of beginners, as well as those with QM experience. Here are key things that you should know:

✓ Classes are now offered virtually, via the Zoom© platform.
✓ Class size is limited to 21, and registration is on a first come, first serve basis. Registration will close 15 days prior to the start of a class, and there is not a waitlist option.
✓ Classes are held over 2 consecutive days, from 9:30 am – 2:30 pm, and participants must attend the entire time.
✓ Prerequisite modules were created to prepare learners for the class, and completion is required prior to taking part in the class.

• ODP is currently updating and streamlining the prerequisite modules, and these will be made available on MyODP no later than July 1, 2021.
• Completion of the retired modules will no longer be considered sufficient to participate in upcoming classes.

✓ A post-test, with a passing score of at least 84%, is required in order to attain ODP QM Certification status. Applicants are limited to 2 attempts but must wait 24 hours between attempts.
✓ Each participant is required to submit a training evaluation at the end of the class, which is used towards improvement efforts.
