Assembly Bill 1886 requires that all California Facilitators of Batterer's Intervention programs have a minimum of 40 hours of training in specific areas, which are listed in the law. Essentially, this bill details the number of hours of required training in each content area in contrast to the original requirements in PC 1203.097, which listed the content areas but did not spell out the amount of training required.
Students may select any module or modules needed without being required to follow any particular sequence; however, in order to become a Batterer's Group Facilitator, we recommend that students be mindful of the legal requirements to become a certified facilitator.
