Training Calendar and Training Resources

Level 1 courses offer basic information on a topic. They count toward clock hours for renewing a child care license. These are for people who want to move up in Career Pathways, Categories A-D. This course level is informative but not in-depth. 

 Level 2 courses help you learn more about Early Childhood concepts and how to use what you learn in real situations. These courses help people prepare for a credential or certification. They give you a chance to study a topic in more detail. Level 2 courses also help you move up the Career Pathways, in Categories A-D.

Level 3 courses are for people working for a degree in Early Childhood or Child Development. They are also for those finishing coursework to maintain a teaching license. These courses are from higher education institutions. They do not appear on the Training Calendar. Rather, these courses are added to a person’s Registry record after the fact. Level 3 courses meet childcare licensing needs when they are completed within your current licensing year. 

Note: Thesis and dissertation credits do not count as training hours. They aren’t added to your 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.

Once you finish a training, the training provider sends your credit to the Registry. They are required to enter credit within 10 days of completing the training.

On the training calendar, click the View Details button. This will show you the contact information for the organization.

If your training is not in your record:

1. Wait 10 days after the training ends 
2. Check your record again 
3. If it is still missing, contact the training provider 

The training provider is responsible for adding your credit.

Note: Registry staff cannot add training credit for you.

In your account, go to View All My Training. You’ll see Verified along with the completion date. This shows you have credit for the training.

Early Childhood licensing specialists will ask for your HHS Licensing Training Record. This record lists the training you’ve done. It only includes approved training from the last 36 months.

• Log in to your Registry account.
• Scroll down to Reporting and select View Reports.
• Select HHS Licensing Training Record
• The file will be available in your downloads folder as a PDF document.

Self-reported training means you entered the training yourself.   It must be reviewed and approved before it counts.

Any training taken more than once within 36 months will show as Duplicate. The clock hours won’t count toward your yearly training total. They also won’t be accepted for annual child care licensing. 

HHS licensing doesn’t accept the same training for child care license renewal. This rule applies if the training happens within 36 months.

CPR and First Aid training isn’t recorded in the Registry. So, the hours can't count toward your annual licensing training.
