Thank you for following up with me. I received and completed the two courses already and found that they were informative as well as interesting. I have taken many trainings over the past twenty years for child care, and this, I do say was one of the easiest and had the most useful info. Not boring as I thought it would have been. - Maryland, New York

To receive the CEUs and Clock Hours for a course, you must follow directions on written assignments and show comprehension of the course content. You must make 70% or better on all course quizzes. Less than 70% will result in trainer review and evaluation. If review indicates the need for discussion, you will be informed that you must speak with a trainer. You will be given a second chance to make 70% or better. Should you fail to do so, you will receive a letter indicating that you did not pass the course and may not retake the course for 12 months.
Clock hours and CEUs are documented on original Care Courses certificates of completion mailed through the US Post Office. All course formats receive an original mailed certificate.
