Due to the anticipated increase of learners needing to access CANS, CFT, and FFPS training provided by the Cal Academies, part self-account creation.  This functionality will be available to county-vetted Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and other providers.

Guidance for Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (LA DCFS) employees and CBOs is forthcoming. 

Community-Based Organizations that work directly with Counties

CBOs, providers, and other partners without an approved email domain must contact the County Child Welfare Training Coordinator or other county contact. The CACWT county administrator will be responsible for ensuring account creation. 

County Juvenile Probation Staff and County Mental/Behavioral Health Staff

County juvenile probation staff and county mental/behavioral health staff can contact their county training coordinators to establish CACWT accounts. California Tribal Social Workers, Tribal organizations, and Tribal partners should contact the RTA they share geography with to create CACWT accounts before registering for training provided by the RTA. 

For CBOs and other providers to use the self-account creation function, training participants must have an approved email domain. County child welfare and county probation agencies can submit a list of approved organizations and the organization’s email domain by using the Community-Based Organization Vetted Domains form. The form ensures counties verify which partners provide services related to CANS, CFTs, and FFPS.   Instructions for self-account creation are detailed on support.cacwt.org. Participants can verify their agency domain has been approved by using the CBO Access List.
