I am sure their training is helpful, but what does their certification mean? No one can assure me that there is any valid generally accepted certification at this time. I went through this years ago with "mediation certification."  Everyone and anyone could claim to be a trainer, a provider, a practitioner and/or to provide a "certificate."  Perhaps most of them were very skilled and knowledgeable, providing effective services, but the "certificate" was essentially meaningless... as good as the organization that made it up.  We must be cautious in the field of trauma, as the same is probably true.

As someone who received that certification from IATP, I would agree with Jody. There is of course useful information (general info) in the course, the price is reasonable and it doesn’t hurt to add this. But. In truth, and at this point, if it’s for validity with other clinicians it’s sadly, probably not worth too much..   For basic, as opposed to specialized, knowledge it is useful. I’m not sure it would be the best option tho for what you’re discussing here. Lisa Ferentz has a number of trauma courses and she’s fairly well-known and respected in the trauma world at least in my neck of the woods.  

I’d also suggest someone I know who provides a true service to new clinicians in the field.  Guy Macpherson. He had a very broad selection of free (!) podcast interviews with leading clinicians in the field. And an online forum for support for new trauma therapist. And it can be anyone wanting to learn and have support in the trauma field, so credentials don’t matter at all. He is truly invested in helping to provide quality education and support for people wanting to work with this population. For a fee you can join and get more direct and personalized support.  He’s easily found on FB or google his name for his website. The Trauma Therapist. Shelly
