Certification in fidelity rating for seeking safety
Purpose
We can train one or more of your staff to conduct fidelity ratings for your agency. This is a popular option as it builds sustainability and a focus on quality. Please note, however, that this is not designed to allow your staff person to then teach others how to conduct fidelity ratings, nor to conduct ratings on anyone outside your agency, nor to charge people for the ratings. For any research study on Seeking Safety (e.g., a randomized controlled trial or other outcome study) that will be published or made publicly available, please contact us regarding fidelity rating.
Method
Cost
See the main certification page for our cost spreadsheet. Please note we have a 24 hour cancelation policy (we bill for any session booked that is not canceled at least 24 hours ahead).
Next step

Method
- We strongly advise that a person seeking Fidelity Rater certification be someone who has actually conducted Seeking Safety.
- There is a 1-hour introductory zoom session, which is attended by all who are looking to become certified Fidelity Raters. The call helps to create a success experience and to save time by letting everyone know what the process will be and what they can do to prepare.
- Next, we provide online Seeking Safety session videos that are rated by your staff person and compared to our trainer’s gold-standard ratings. Your staff person needs to achieve close ratings on at least two videos; typically 3 videos are needed, but sometimes more. As part of this process, there is a one hour zoom or phone session after each rating so that your staff person gets feedback before starting the next video.
