CHAPERONE TRAINING PROGRAM OVERVIEW

LEVEL I

• Broadly focused training materials
• Educates the chaperone on the overall dynamics of sex offenders
• A sex offender may have an unlimited number of chaperones (this is based on the recommendations of the treatment provider)
• Training materials and Level I exam are available online
• The training materials may be viewed an unlimited amount of times and there is no time limit to complete the program
• When the chaperone is ready they may take the Level I exam. The exam can be taken up to three times for the $30 fee. In the event that a chaperone fails the exam, they may re-write the exam after a period of 24 hours. Following successful completion of the Level I exam the treatment provider will be notified and the chaperone will proceed to LEVEL II of the program.

LEVEL II

• Customized training based on the specific offender
• Depending on the number of chaperones Level II training is available in an individual or group session format
• Following successful completion of Level II, the treatment provider will contact Limestone Technologies at which time chaperones will be added to the National Certified Chaperone database.  They will receive a certificate from their treatment provider and will remain certified for 1 year following completion of the program.  Should the chaperone wish to maintain their chaperone certification, they can take a revised course the following year where any new material relevant to sex offender monitoring will be made available.
