Font Size: + -

All individuals seeking initial licensure – as well as license renewal – are required to complete a child abuse recognition and intervention course that meets Board of Education approved guidelines. Verification of training completion is noted on individual licenses and also sent to school division human resources directors and school division licensure specialists. School divisions may design their own training or utilize other training opportunities to fulfill this requirement.

Several providers have shared instructional opportunities to fulfill this requirement with the Department of Education.
