Online Training

Foster parents may obtain their annual in-service training hours at the internet website, www.fosterclub.com or www.fosterparents.com. The courses are written by professionals and focus on foster and adoptive children. To obtain training credit, the foster parents logs on to the website and reads the posted training material. At the end of the training course, there is a questionnaire that is completed and submitted on-line. With a return of 80% correct, a certificate of completion per course is e-mailed to the participant. The certificate contains the course title, hours of credit, and first and last name of the participant. For couples, each individual will need to complete the course material and receive a training certificate. The training certificate is to be submitted to the Regional Office for documentation of training hours.

Some of the classes have a fee. Check with your worker to find out how much will be reimbursed by the agency.
