On-Demand Trainings

Beginning in 2023, the Institute began offering on-demand online trainings for Early Childhood professionals. Some sessions are developed originally as online trainings and others are live webinar events that were recorded and then adapted to an online on-demand format. Please carefully read the information below before completing any of the trainings.

1. Each training is online, self-paced and available 24-7 when it is convenient for you!
2. All trainings provide contact hours approved by the NC Division of Child Development and Early Education. Training certificates documenting hours are issued upon successful completion of the training and the training evaluation.
3. To begin any training, you will be provided a link to register (through Zeffy) and in some cases pay a registration fee. Upon registration and payment (if applicable), you will immediately receive an email with the link to your training. Follow the directions on the email to get started and access your training.
4. All trainings should be accessed and completed using the Google Chrome web-browser. Other web browsers often create technical issues during the training.
5. Trainings are offered through EdPuzzle. The training typically includes a video portion along with interactive elements. You will notice the various interactive elements along the progress line of the video. You will be required to pause at these moments within the training to complete a particular task. Although you are not able to skip ahead within a training, you are able to exit and training within Ed Puzzle if needed and log back in later to pick back up where you left off.
6. You will need to complete the entire session and the session evaluation which is linked at the end of the training in order to receive DCDEE clock hour training credit. Certificates are available and emailed to you AFTER you submit your evaluation.
