The health and well-being of our members and staff is our highest priority. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Nevada Registry office is closed to the public and our staff is working remotely. We are able to maintain most normal operations and continue processing applications and renewal forms, approving training requests for online courses and responding to email messages. Because there may be a slight delay in the receipt of new membership applications submitted via the mail, The Nevada Registry is temporarily accepting complete NEW membership applications via email. If you need assistance, please email our office at nevadaregistry@washoeschools.net rather than leaving a voicemail message as email is currently the quickest way to communicate with Registry staff. Please stay healthy and be well! 

Looking for training? There are currently over 1600 Registry-approved online courses currently listed on the Training Calendar available to take to meet your annual training requirements while complying with social distancing guidelines. These courses are easily accessible from a desktop computer, laptop or any smart device and can be completed from the privacy of your own home, any time of day, 365 days per year. Please consider this as an alternative to group in-person training sessions if you are in need of completing training hours for Licensing during this period of uncertainty.

TRAINER Statistics:

A new improved training approval system was launched in January 2017. With it, trainer qualification and approval criteria was created. In 2018, the minimum educational criteria for Early Childhood (ECE) Trainers is 20 ECE college credits (Level 3.1) and the minimum educational criteria for NEW Topic Trainers is an Associate's degree (previously a high school diploma). The minimum criteria for Early Childhood Trainers will continue to become increasingly more concentrated on formal education in ECE each year through 2020 at which time an Associate's degree (Level 4 or higher) will be the minimum educational standard. An Assoicate's degree will also become the minimum eduational standard for all Topic Trainers in 2022.
