Oh my goodness, I liked so many things about the program. The material is amazing. The staff, I can’t say enough about how you helped me in my work with clients.

I loved the course! It exceeded my expectations. We learned very useful tools (how to use it properly). And it was presented in an easily understandable fashion. Even though it is my second language I could understand well.

The structure of the course was excellent, plenty of opportunity to practice alone with the case studies and in person with the staff. The live practice and feedback session were really valuable for me.

Very well-structured content. Easy to work through at my own pace. Combination of written, auditory and visual content along with practice activities and live practice sessions worked very well to help reinforce my learning. Excellent program!

The Motivational Interviewing online course succinctly captured the important elements of MI and made helped me to integrate knowledge. The best MI course I’ve taken.

What I really liked about the program was gaining a better understanding and approach to MI skills, how to incorporate skills more fluently and natural. Understanding how certain approaches can guide conversation outcome.

Easy to navigate online course, multiple options of presenting info, simple graphics, clear submission process, downloadable PDFs for reference, reading forum comments on, support and feedback from all CCMI members

I like the way this program is designed with quizzes, assignments, videos, audios, helpful hand outs and especially have one-on-one sessions with CCMI trainers to go over the materials. I wish I had more one-on-one sessions with CCMI trainers to practice things that I have learned.

Everything in the course was actually useful, and it felt like it had been curated with a good deal of care and intention. I spent longer on this course than I normally would for other online education because I wanted to take the time to really digest the material – it was that good!

I definitely took away a lot from this course. I learned many practical strategies and tools that can help me address the various ways ambivalence shows up in my clients. I appreciated the information broken down into easily understandable categories with handouts available for future reference.

What a great course! I have been exposed to MI in the past, but feel that this has encouraged me to take small steps at incorporating the processes so that it becomes more familiar and easier to use…like a forming a habit and not feeling at a loss of words. I agree that reflections and more patient engagement will be the key!

It succinctly captured the important elements of MI and helped me to integrate knowledge. The best MI course I’ve taken.

The workshop was informative, supportive, helpful, and I will take these skills into my workplace to enhance client-centred care.

The class was awesome and material presentation was amazing! Best training I have taken in 8 years!

I found the presenter (Lori) to be very engaging, and I appreciated how interactive the session was. I have already used some of the tools taught both at work and at home, and I feel this is one of the best and useful courses I have taken in a long time.

I liked the interaction in practicing the different concepts and techniques. Being able to practice with different people who were also taking the course as well as to receive feedback from the instructor was great.

Good overview of spirit of MI and introduction to skills (OARS, bringing focus to sessions, complex reflections, action planning, etc). I particularly enjoyed the interactive elements to the training as it provided an opportunity to practice the skills

The presenter, Brittany, was dynamic, really knew her stuff and was so engaging.
The content was presented via a variety of teaching mechanisms to facilitate all styles of learning, and included so much interaction, which I felt was very effective.
What I appreciated most was the “work-shopping’ of our responses to various challenging client interactions.

The variety of methods used for information transfer. It was very engaging. Practicing using personal goals was helpful. It was a safe space; I wasn’t afraid to try to use the techniques, even in the larger group. The instructor was able to reframe any mistakes as great attempts and provided support and feedback so that everyone could learn

I really enjoyed how interactive the program was and how the MI instructors listened to our recommendations with what works best for us. This really made a difference in how we understood the material.

This program was super! Very well balanced between theoretical knowledge and opportunity to practice. The course wouldn’t have been the same without Cathy — her knowledge, insight and courageous vulnerability was such an asset, and so helpful in understanding the client perspective. She’s an absolute inspiration. She offered such an important reminder that change and growth is possible for folks, even when they struggle to see it themselves in a given moment. Grateful for her presence, and of course, Sebastien’s skill and expertise in MI.

The workbook and slides worked in tandem with the instruction. Made it easy to follow along plus we have a post-workshop study guide. The instructor was very personable.
