Trainer Qualification and Approval Criteria for Topic Trainers

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.
