Child Care Aware Training Academy
|
Coming soon! New and exciting changes to the Training Academy!
Child Care Aware of NH is in the process of changing the Child Care Aware Training Academy. During this change, providers will not be able to purchase
new
training classes online through the Training Academy. However, if you already earned Training Academy credits or certificates on the Smart Horizons platform, not to worry—your credits on the old Training Academy platform will be honored and you will still be able to access your current trainings as well. If you have already purchased a course on Smart Horizons, you can finish the course or Child Care Aware® of America will help you find an equivalent course on Cypherworx, the new platform, at no extra charge. You can email them directly for hands-on support:
learnmore@usa.childcareaware.org
