Available to immediately assign and begin taking the course!
Stop worrying about selecting the right training Topics! These convenient ONLINE packages provide the 24 clock hours of Pre-Service training required for New Staff members during their first 90 days of employment, per the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (see below). Choose from two packages designed specifically for Infant/Toddler or Preschool/School-age classrooms. We’ve eliminated the guesswork by selecting trainings that cover the required Topics. The courses are self-paced and auto-corrected, with all essay answers reviewed and verified by a Texas Certified Instructor, saving Directors valuable time. Our PC and mobile-friendly online platform manages the entire process for you!
Note: New Staff members should print their initial certificate once they’ve completed the first 8 hours of training and pass a copy to their director for their records. This allows them to be included in the student-teacher ratio earlier than ever!
–We suggest you keep a supply of these packages on hand for future New Staff members–
