This training has been designed to increase both the knowledge and skill base for training participants and emphasizes a participant-centered training approach. The training is considered an introductory, entry-level sexual assault training designed for new volunteers and staff providing services to survivors. It has been intentionally designed for those new to the field and should not be considered a relevant training for those who have been providing sexual assault advocacy for two or more years.

The STAR® Core Advocate Training is broken into two parts, an online portion and an in-person portion. The online learning portion must be completed prior to attending the in-person training.
