I visited a total of 139 links from the National Advocate Credentialing Program's pre-approved training programs page. The majority of these links led to online courses offered by various institutions. Here is a breakdown of some of the types of training I found:

1. Online Courses: Many institutions offer online victim advocacy certificate courses. These include universities like Auburn University, Jacksonville State University, Troy University, University of North Alabama, University of Arizona, and many others across different states. These courses are primarily online and provide 24/7 course access to students​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

2. In-Person Trainings: There were also some in-person training programs, such as the Georgia Victim Assistance Academy, which offers an immersive experience where participants stay on campus for a week​​. The Victim Assistance Academy of Nevada (VAAN) seemed to offer in-person training as well​​.

3. Phone Hotline Training: Some organizations, like Signs of Hope, offer training for volunteers to operate phone hotlines​​.

4. Other Forms of Training: There were also other forms of training such as the Victim Support Services' Core Academy Training in Washington, which qualifies participants to provide direct services to victims​​, and training programs provided by the military, like the U.S. Coast Guard Sexual Assault Prevention, Response & Recovery Program​​.

The training formats vary widely, with the majority being online. Only a few, like the Georgia Victim Assistance Academy and VAAN, clearly indicated an in-person format.
