In-person CCDBG Health and Safety, Child Development and Mandated Reporter training events have been temporarily suspended due to COVID-19. All interested EC staff can access CCDBG online training events in NJCCIS. Click 'registry', then choose either the H&S online in English or Spanish.
Please remember that the NJ Health and Safety Basics and Child Development are an 8-hour class you can take over a period of time. The Mandated Reporter (2 hours) can be taken independent of H&S/CD. Once completed, the courses are recorded on NJCCIS in your profile section. Please check once you have completed the course requirements and provide transcript for your program leadership or CCR&R Provider Manager Coordinator (PMC).
