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.

Note Regarding 2017 Statistics

Important changes were made to our reporting format in conjunction with the rollout of the new and improved trainer and training approval system that occurred in 2017. Beginning in 2018, program and training-related statistics will be available on a quarterly basis rather than on a monthly basis as in years past; however, a 2017 year-end snapshot is provided below.

Levels 1-3 (including the Pre-Level) are the non-degreed levels of the ladder.

The number of members at each level of the ladder with a Non-ECE degree is included in the following table.
