The "Introduction to Child Care" is comprised of four modules. All four modules must be completed before a certificate number is issued. What does "In-service" mean? (Back to Top) On-line training courses which are completed, will have inservice and the date of completion on the transcript. This means that you have completed the on-line course but have not taken a competency exam. Is a competency exam required for the on-line courses? (Back to Top) Competency exams are only required for the mandated introductory training. If you are using any of the department's online courses to satisfy the annual in-service requirement, you do NOT have to complete a competency exam. Why do some of my classes have CEUs and some do not? (Back to Top) CEUs are continuing education units, which were issued for training meeting specific standards of trainer qualifications, curriculum design, and a measurement of participant competency. The following chart outlines the CEU availability for the department's training courses. You can only earn one certificate for each course and you may not earn CEUs for a course you have previously taken.
