Using the Motivational Interviewing Competency Assessment (MICA): Spring 2023
This fast-paced, interactive course will introduce participants to the MICA and provide multiple practice opportunities to evaluate conversations along five MI intentions, two MI strategies, and two utterance categories. Participants will learn how to use the MICA for coaching purposes to help MI practitioners facilitate effective motivational conversations. Participants will engage in learning through webcasts, written materials, audio recordings, exercises, and practice opportunities.
The MICA was developed to assess competence in MI and provide a quality improvement process for practitioners to cultivate their use of MI intentions and strategies. The MICA allows coders, coaches and/or practitioners to form easily digestible, structured, specific feedback along the dimensions of the MI intentions and MI strategies. Unlike other coding tools, the language of the MICA is more directed to helping practitioners cultivate and express their MI intentions and is not as "utterance-focused." Instead, the MICA focuses on helping practitioners convey MI intentions and skills conversationally.
Learning Objectives:
As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Offer feedback to share MI skill development
- Evaluate conversations along seven different MI dimensions
- Identify specific MI skills in conversations

Training Certificates:
Participants may earn a Certificate of Course Completion* by:
- Attending all five, live webcasts (or watching the entire recording of each live session)
- Completing all required learning activities
- Scoring 80% or higher on each weekly quiz
- Scoring 80% agreement on results of final assignment

7.5 hours of continuing education credits will be awarded upon completion of this course through NAADAC. 7.5 hours of continuing education credits will be awarded upon completion of this course through NBCC and ASWB. Certificates will be emailed directly to requesting participants roughly two weeks after the successful completion of the final assignment.
*Please note that a certificate of completion is not a certification of proficiency in MI or MITI coding and coaching, and is not intended by C4 or the instructors to be represented as such. Currently, neither the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) nor its members/contracting organizations can confer a certification of MI practitioner or coder competence or proficiency.
It is strongly recommended that you obtain additional resources following this course, including cultivating involvement in a skilled coding community, and identify a thoughtful protocol for establishing sustainable coding consistency prior to coding and coaching for the purposes of research and/or providing clinical supervision and coaching in the MI or MITI models.
