Which Form Should I Use?
The Registry has developed five separate types of training approval request forms with specific criteria that must be met. The form you will submit depends on the type of trainer you are, as well as the type of training you will be offering. Please read the following descriptions to determine which form you will need to submit when applying for approval/child care training hours through the Registry. Request forms can be downloaded by clicking on the document titles below.
Request for Training Approval Forms are in Adobe® Acrobat Reader format. Download free Acrobat® Reader software.
Form #1: ECE Trainer
Complete this form if you are a Trainer currently or previously in the field of Early Care and Education. Any individual working in the field of ECE and/or with an educational background in ECE, must complete an Application for Career Ladder placement, or be an active participant, prior to submitting requests for training approval.
Form #2: Non-ECE Trainer
Complete this form if you are a Trainer who is not in the field of ECE (i.e. Nurse, Health Dept. Employees, etc.) and/or a Trainer that resides outside the state of Nevada. You are not required to apply to the Registry for Career Ladder placement.
Form #3: Sponsor
Complete this form if:
- You are a child care center or other ECE related program that is bringing in a specialized trainer from an outside agency (i.e., the local AEYC is sponsoring a training by bringing in a qualified instructor to provide training on brain development, Child Care Center XYZ is bringing in an expert on child abuse and neglect, etc.). As the sponsor, you become responsible for submitting the training for approval, obtaining the approval code and issuing certificates of completion to training participants. In this case, the sponsored trainer does not have to be a member of the Registry.
- You are an agency that offers training as a function of your program and that training will be presented by multiple staff members (i.e., you are a local R&R that offers training on an ongoing basis presented by a number of employees). All training that is offered by the organization will be submitted using this form and housed in one account, and will be advertised as being offered by the agency, not the individual. In this case, all trainers conducting training for the program must first apply to the Registry for Career Ladder Placement.
This form is NOT to be used if:
- You are a child care center who will be utilizing your own staff to provide in-house trainings. In this case, you should submit the ECE Trainer Request for Training Approval form.
- You are a trainer who offers training as a consultant/independent contractor on a regular basis (i.e., you are a self employed trainer with your own business). In this case, you should submit the ECE Trainer Request for Training Approval form.
Form #4: Training Event with Multiple Sessions
Instructions for Requesting Approval for Training Events with Multiple Sessions
Complete this form if you are a child care center or other ECE related program that is hosting a training event that will offer attendees multiple sessions to choose from (i.e., conferences, full day trainings, etc.). As the host of this event, you become responsible for submitting the event for approval, obtaining the approval code(s) and issuing Certificates of Attendance to training participants. This form is not to be used if you are offering a traditional training in which there is one topic that occurs on one day with a specified start and end time.
Form #5: Non-Traditional Training
This form will be completed if you are an agency or organization that has developed training that is not available in a traditional classroom setting. These trainings are not-for-college-credit, are typically offered through independent study and are primarily self-paced. Examples of non-traditional training includes modules, correspondence courses, internet classes.
This form is NOT to be used if:
- You are a child care center that has purchased training materials (developed by an organization or agency other than your own) for your staff to complete individually.
- You are an individual interested in obtaining training hours for completing self-paced, stand alone training materials (i.e., books, videos, articles, etc.).
