Licensing Procedures and Policies
Thank you for expressing interest in implementing SMRC programs. Below you will find general information about our licenses.
Licensing Policies:
- The Self-Management Resource Center is the sole provider of licenses for SMRC programs.
- The default license term is for 3 years and covers any or all SMRC programs. [Click here to see a sample single agency license.]
- All SMRC programs must be led by trained Leaders.
- Each license specifies the number of Leader trainings (in-person or virtual) a licensed organization is allowed to host/organize during the license term.
- Only licensed organizations can send people to Leader training. Training can be given by SMRC, another licensed organization, or certified Master Trainers (including the licensee’s own).
- Costs for SMRC virtual Leader or Master Trainer trainings and cross-trainings (when a Leader or Master Trainer already trained in one SMRC program adds training in one or more other programs) are billed separately and are NOT included in the license fee.
- For more details, please see Training for SMRC programs.
- Licensed organizations are required to file an annual report on SMRC website’s Member Portal.
- We urge you to read and download the SMRC Implementation and Fidelity Manual, especially those new to our programs.

- A standalone license permits a single agency to be solely responsible for supervising all Leader trainings and all SMRC workshops. There is no restriction on location where the training or workshops are delivered.
- An umbrella license permits a single agency to obtain one license that covers multiple partner agencies to deliver any SMRC workshops or training at various sites. (For example, a parent agency can obtain a single license that applies to all its affiliated branch offices.) The agency named in the umbrella license is responsible for fidelity, compliance, reporting and liability of all use and delivery of SMRC content by its partner agencies. All covered agencies must be named on the license and agencies added or deleted after the issue of the license must be reported to SMRC Licensing.
* Fee is for a 3-year license term. Note: There is an additional $30 fee for payments by wire transfer.
** Leader trainings are groups of 8-12 people trained by your agency to be SMRC workshop Leaders. Training must be done by SMRC certified Master Trainers.. If you send people to SMRC for training there is an added cost, see training costs here.
