Through the effectiveness of personalized feedback and coaching, this option is one of the best ways to reach proficiency with MI and take skills to the next level. Individuals participating in this customized training submit an audio recording sample, demonstrating MI. Using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) Version 4.2.1 behavior rating tool, Kay provides written feedback on the submitted sample within 72 hours and then schedules a coaching session to review the recording with you, to discuss your areas of strength and any recommendations for areas of continued focus.

Recommendations: It is generally recommended that practitioners have the opportunity to submit a minimum of two to six audio recordings in order to obtain feedback, improve skills, and demonstrate growth through submitting another sample. In general, proficiency in MI can be demonstrated after approximately four to six recording submissions.
