IMPORTANT!!
All training offered/taken for child care training hours must be approved by The Nevada Registry in order for it to be accepted by Child Care Licensing!
General Information About the Training Approval System
On October 1, 2004, the State of Nevada Bureau of Services for Child Care* designated The Nevada Registry the official site to approve all informal (non-credit bearing) child care training for the State of Nevada. As a result of this new designation, all requests for child care training hours must be reviewed and approved by the Registry, regardless of which licensing jurisdiction would have previously been responsible.
* Effective July 1, 2011, the Bureau of Services for Child Care transferred to the Health Division and is now housed under the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance (HCQC) - Child Care Licensing Unit.
Purpose of the Training Approval System
The purpose of establishing a system of approval is to promote quality training opportunities statewide and to increase the level of consistency within the approval process across the state. Previously, all informal, non-college training was approved through one of five different licensing entities. With the establishment of the training approval system, all trainers and corresponding informal training events are subject to the same approval criteria and are processed through the same approval process within the Registry. Because of our partnership with statewide Licensing agencies, the Registry has mainstreamed the process of approval by becoming the central clearinghouse for receiving training requests, approving requests, tracking approved training and making training information available to the Early Care and Education workforce on a statewide basis.
How Does the Training Approval System Work?
Trainers and sponsors who are interested in offering training to caregivers for child care training hours must first submit a request for training approval to The Nevada Registry. This can be done following the guidelines outlined on the Registry's training approval request forms. Training approval request forms can be submitted via fax or mail.
Upon receipt of a training approval request form, the Registry will notify the trainer or sponsor via email that the request has been received. Requests are then reviewed to determine whether the criteria for approval has been met. Note: Approval is based on the content of the training only. Criteria for trainers has not yet been established.
Within 5 business days, the trainer or sponsor will receive a second email confirming approval (or denial) of the training request along with a unique approval code*. The email will contain an approval code that is specific to the date of the request. This code must be included on the Certificates of Attendance that are provided to training participants at the conclusion of the training. If this information is omitted from the certificates, caregivers will not get credit for attending and these hours will not be applied toward the annual training requirements of Licensing.
It is at this point that an individual or agency is considered “registered” with the Registry. Note: “Registered” does not mean the same as "Approved”. Registered simply means that you have submitted at least one request for training approval and that you will have the option of using our online approval request process once it is available. The Registry will begin establishing a pool of “approved” trainers once the criteria for trainers has been created and implemented.
* The Registry's training approval system is email-driven. For this reason, it is imperative that a current email address always be on file. Confirmation and approval emails will be sent to email addresses registered in the trainer's name and will not be sent to a general group/company email address. For example, we will not send training correspondence to a general email address such as admin@childcarecenter.com, but we would be willing to send correspondence to an individual at the same site (ex., sally@childcarecenter.com).
If you have any questions about the training approval system, please feel free to email our office or contact your local Licensing representative for more information.
