The North Dakota Growing Futures Registry: Approved Training

A Growing Futures Registry account allows you to register and receive clock hours for Growing Futures approved training and access a report of your annual training to share with your #early-childhood licensing specialist.

The Registry sets standards for approval of training sponsor organizations and trainers, reviews training submitted to the Registry to ensure it aligns with the standards and provides a training and reporting system for all approved training. The Registry promotes all approved training that is open to public registration on the Training Calendar, available online 24/7.

ChildCareEd is an Approved Sponsor with the Growing Futures Registry. ChildCareEd approved courses can be found on the Registry. Users may purchase approved courses through the ChildCareEd website. For Registry credit, please add your Registry ID number to your ChildCareEd account. Attendance data will be uploaded weekly to the Registry. Please allow a minimum of 5 business days for your completed course to appear on your Registry account.
