Online Training?

I like Care Courses (www.CareCourses.com) They have a pretty good variety and aren't too badly priced.

We're a new center so our training budget is very small. Some of the teachers need training hours and I don't want to bring in a trainer until we have our full staff. What online training websites do you all recommend and what was the cost?

Are there any free options near you? I can usually find free seminars and classes around me. This year I was able to find over 50 free hours of training around me, and the year isn't over yet. I don't live in a huge community, either.

I work in a NAEYCC accredited center. In addition to a full time trainer, we also have the option of doing online courses. I really enjoy these online ones.

Some good suggestions have been given but be sure to check with your licensing agency as not all on-line courses are acceptable in all areas/states.

Hate to take an entire training just to find out it doesn't meet your state requirements.

This. Our state usually lists on their website what classes they accept.

What is the name of the company that sends monthly training booklets via mail? I LOVED that method when I owned a center. You can sign up to get a single booklet and one posttest and certificate for one person, or you can get them in multiples of 5, 10, etc. I would love to have that service again if I could only remember the naaaaamme?!! Now it's gonna drive me nuts. Anyone familiar with this?

Valuable information.....very disappointing to complete a training only to find out the particular state will not count as credit....TN has an online system with multiple trainings that is 2 hrs each and can be done at any time which has been helpful due to the budget cuts and less training available...on this site you can do 15 minutes at a time if you want and when you finish you print your own certificate. Providers do have to attend trainings as well but a certain amount can be online.
