Training Calendar and Training Resources

Level 1 courses provide basic information on a topic and apply toward clock hours for childcare license renewal.  They are for those interested in progressing through Career Pathways placement in Categories A-D. This course level is informative but not in-depth. Level 1 courses are usually quick to complete and in the case of online Level 1 courses, the clock hours may post to the individual’s training record immediately upon completion. 

Level 2 courses are designed for those seeking to advance on the Career Pathways to Category B or above or earn or maintain a professional credential. Level 2 courses are more rigorous and usually require completion of assignments, assessment or a test to demonstrate competence before clock hours are awarded. This means that it will take longer for Level 2 courses to appear on an individual’s Registry record. Level 2 courses also fulfill child care licensing requirements. 

Level 3 courses are for the individual working toward a degree in Early Childhood or completing coursework to maintain a professional teaching license. These courses are offered by higher education institutions and are not listed on the Training Calendar. Rather, these courses are added to an individual’s Registry record after the fact. Level 3 courses also fulfill childcare licensing requirements if the course(s) was completed in the individual’s current licensing year. NOTE: Thesis and dissertation credits are not accepted as training hours and are not added to an individual’s learning record.  

When creating an account with a training sponsor be sure to include:
• Your Registry ID number (may be asked for a state ID number)
• Your full first and last names
• The same email address used for your Registry account.

Training organizations are responsible to add training completions and clock hours to your Registry training record within 10 days of the training completion date. If you completed Registry approved training and it is not on your training record, contact the organization that sponsored the training for help. NOTE: Registry staff cannot award you credit for approved training.

On the training calendar, select the View Details button in the event to find the contact information for the organization.

The training tab in your account must have a date in the "Verified Date" column and the "Verified" column must have the word verified to show you have credit for the training.

Self-reported is training that you have identified as completed but has yet to be confirmed (verified).

Any training taken more than once within a 36 month period will show as "Duplicate." The clock hours will not be added to your yearly training total and will not be accepted for annual childcare licensing. Also, duplicate training does not apply to Career Pathways or other professional qualifications

Health and Human Services does not accept repeated training within a 36 month period for child care license renewal.

CPR/First Aid training is not tracked in the Registry and the clock hours cannot be counted toward annual licensing training.
