FAQs
Q: What information do I need to share with a training sponsor to get credit for training?
When creating an account with a training sponsor be sure to include:
• Your Registry ID number (may be asked for a state ID number)
• Your full first and last names
• The same email address used for your Registry account.
Q: How do I get credit for training I have taken?
Training organizations are responsible to add training completions and clock hours to your Registry training record within 10 days of the training completion date. If you completed Registry approved training and it is not on your training record, contact the organization that sponsored the training for help. NOTE: Registry staff cannot award you credit for approved training.
Q: How do I find contact information for a training sponsor?
On the Registry training calendar, select the View Details button in the event to find the contact information for the organization.
Q: My training tab has a training that is self-reported. What does that mean?
Self-reported is training that you have identified as completed but has yet to be confirmed (verified).
Q: How do I know I have credit for training?
The training tab in your account must have a date in the ‘Verified Date’ column and the ‘Verified’ column must have the word VERIFIED to show you have credit for the training.
Q: How do I show my Licensing Specialist what training I have completed?
Early Childhood Licensing Specialists will request a copy of your HHS Licensing Training Record, which shows only approved training that you have completed in the previous 36-months.
Q: How do I find the HHS Licensing Training Record?
• Log in to your Registry account.
• Under the Summary tab, scroll to the bottom of the page. Select the “HHS Licensing Training Record” link. The record will open as a PDF which can be saved or printed.
• Registry members can also access the record under their Reports tab.
Q: Why does a training on my HHS Licensing Training Record show as ‘Duplicate’?
Any training taken more than once within a 36-month period will show as ‘Duplicate’. The clock hours will not be added to your yearly training total and will not be accepted for annual childcare licensing. Also, duplicate training does not apply to Career Pathways or other professional qualifications.
Q: Can a training be repeated?
The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) does not accept repeated training within a 36-month period for childcare license renewal.

Q: Does my CPR/First Aid training count for training clock hours?
CPR/First Aid training is not tracked in the Registry and the clock hours cannot be counted toward annual licensing training.
Q: I went to an out-of-state early childhood conference. How can I get training credit?
An individual training request may be submitted for out-of-state conferences that are not preapproved.
Q: How do I get credit for training that was not Registry approved?
You will need to submit an individual training request. The training must meet the requirements in the accepted training guidelines.
Q: What is the CDA Credential?
The Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential is a national early childhood professional credential for direct caregivers working with children ages 0 to 5 years in family/group, center, and preschool settings.
