PIPELINE CREDENTIAL HERE

Next Start (aka next available defensive tactics course): 6/10, July, and August. Only 8-10 spots are available for each class. A spot cannot be secured until HCP clears CDOC backgrounds which takes on average 1 month. All HCPs must be flexible on DT assigned.

All CDOC contractors are required to complete a 4-day DEFENSIVE TACTICS course (usually) at Headquarters in Colorado Springs, CO. During DT, individuals will be required to take and pass both a physical and written assessment. If they do not pass, they will have 1 remaining attempt the following Mon/Tues of the next week. If they fail a test on the 2nd attempt, they will be sent home.

HQ: 1250 Academy Park Loop Colorado Springs, CO 80910

This position is for pipeline credentialing/skill marketing only. If your RN has strong corrections experience and is open to being skill marketed to CDOC, please confirm which geographical locations (of the 4 below), not facilities, they are committed to working within. This means your candidate should research the areas they could be working within as many locations are rural, in the mountains, or may have limited housing. There are 19 state-run facilities. We get quicker wins when candidates are open to an area rather than just a specific worksite.

WHEN an official need opens through CDOC, it is ideal to submit qualified candidates within the following 2 hrs knowing they work with multiple other vendors. If a need opens in the location/s preference of your HCP and they are matched to this position, I will reach out to you so we can submit them ASAP.
