Hi– One of my staff members is trying to create an account so that she can take the IM + CANS certification. When she attempts, there is no drop down for our agency and it only goes through the letter “C” for the state of IL. We have emailed the support team and no response. Please advise.
Good Afternoon;
I hope you can assist me as I’ve taken the TCOM training on 08/13/2021 and the Fast/Cans training on 08/17/2021 and have not yet received my email for testing.
Thanks,

Hello, I just took the IM+Cans training. I was trying to log into the portal to access the exam but I seem to have forgotten my password. I have tried to reset my password for several days and have not received a password reset link to my email address. I have reached out to support and have yet to get a response. Is there any way I can get assistance for this?

Hi Corean,
Thanks for reaching out! It looks like this account is currently deactivated, and unfortunately we’re not able to reactivate it on this end.
The Training Provider sets which accounts are activated, so they should be able to help with this. Please reach out to support@tcomtraining.com for assistance with the account’s status and to get logged in.
Thanks, and have a great day!

So, just how is it advisable to do it?
Hi there. I have a group practice in Arlington, Texas. I just pasted my CANS 84% and ANSA 82%. Now what’s the next step so that I can begin conducting assessments with agencies such as CPS. I would also like to become a trainer in my area. Thanks
Hi
I have been certified on CANS three times, one in Santa Clara (2016), one in Contra Costa (2018) and one in Alameda (2020). Now I have a new contract with Contra Costa, do I have to do the trainings again? or my certification in Alameda is valid in Contra Costa?
Hi
I have been certified 3 times in CANS, one in Santa Clara County(2016), one in Contra Costa County(2018) and one in Alameda(2020). Now I have a new contract in Contra Costa but I was certified recently in Alameda, do I need to take the training again in Contra Costa?
why is that Standard CANS 2.0 listed as a private course, my staff and I have had hours of difficulties trying to sign up to the course in order to become certified for the purposes of compliance. The course will be paid for, this seems to be the only blocked course, or perhaps its the only course I have needed on your site and is impossible to access. hours upon hours. yes it is frustrating time consuming and takes away from client care.
Hi, there is no courses available under “My Courses”. Now what?
How do I change my agency? I’m with a new agency that requires the CANS 2.0, do I need to set up a whole new account?
Hi Aramide-No need to create a new account. Email support@tcomtraining.com and they can assist!
Hi, I took the ANSA final exam twice and passed; valid for 6 months, but wanted to review my wrong answers to get an idea of what I am doing wrong so I can improve. I searched for quite some time and couldn’t find it. How can I do this?
I am interested in this type of training and employment opportunities. Are agencies in the Panhandle of Texas utilizing persons with the appropriate certifications?
Hi Jane! Try reaching out to April Fernando (afernando@chapinhall.org) to get in touch with agencies and trainings in your area ☺
My Training certificate is expiring in November 2018. I just need to update the California CANS 50 1.0 training correct not the Los Angeles County CANS 1.0? Just want to be prepared.
Good Afternoon Shannon,
Please check with your agency to see which course you need to certify in.
Thanks,
Lauren
