About NCTI

The National Curriculum & Training Institute®, Inc. (NCTI) has been developing and providing a wide variety of staff development trainings since 1981. NCTI has assisted thousands of agencies through staff trainings covering topics such as ethics, generations, communication, preventing sexual misconduct, leadership, teamwork, dealing with stress, and training for new managers. Over 1,500 criminal justice and community corrections practitioners have been training in NCTI's workshop Preventing Staff Sexual Misconduct Against Offenders since 2007.  

The Personality Assessment Instrument, Real Colors®, is incorporated into all of  NCTI's staff trainings. The Real Colors® Personality Instrument enables staff to have a better understanding of themselves and others as it relates to their temperament and behavior. It opens lines of communication and understanding.

NCTI and The American Probation Parole Association (APPA) have joined in collaboration to provide Preventing Staff Sexual Misconduct Against Offenders workshops to probation, parole and community supervision departments across the United States. The Facilitator Certification Training and the staff workshop Preventing Staff Sexual Misconduct Against Offenders are accredited by APPA.
