Since you can work through them at your own pace you can take your time to understand the information that is being presented.

Q - I want to use this workshop for professional development hours related to my work as an Early Childhood Educator. Will the certificate be recognized?
A - Our Online ECE Workshops are created with the BC ECE Registry renewal requirements in mind. These state that Early Childhood Educators are required to complete 40 hours of professional development over the course of their certification term. (If you live in another part of Canada, it’s likely that our professional development certificates will be acceptable for your professional development hours. Outside of Canada, we are less able to confirm if our workshops would be acceptable.) Remember — you should keep track of your certificate expiry date so that you have enough time to finish the necessary professional development courses or programs. And you should choose courses or workshops that are relevant to working in the early childhood field – choose topics like:
Child growth and development
Child guidance
Advocacy for children, families and the field
History of early childhood education
Self-care as related to supporting effective practice
Development of program policies
Addressing human resource issues
Managing child care programs
Maintaining children’s health, safety and nutrition
Interpersonal communication
Special needs
Infant & toddler

We log all of your work and interaction in our online learning management system and our customer relationship management software.
Q - Do you guarantee that ECE Workshops will be acceptable or recognized by my employer or an official government department/agency/association in my area?
A - In short no -- there are simply too many variables related to this for us to make such a promise . . . BUT --
In the event that our professional development certificate is not acceptable or approved related to your certification or license renewal, we will do what we can to provide you with additional information and documentation to help you demonstrate your learning experience.
We work hard to ensure our workshops are high quality and we believe they should be acceptable in BC and many other areas in Canada. We know our workshops provide our students with an excellent learning experience.
