In the past, CAL has conducted virtual training workshops with experienced BEST Plus 2.0 trainers multiple times a year. Since BEST Plus 2.0 is approved through June 30, 2025, there are no training workshops scheduled at this time.

CAL also offers private (contracted) training workshops with a more customizable schedule to meet your program’s needs. CAL has experience working with programs to determine the number of test administrators needed to meet your program needs. Our pricelist provides you with the cost per workshop depending on the number of Test Administrator candidates you wish to train. Please do not hesitate to e-mail us or call us for any questions on private training workshops.
