Getting Started

What is the Training Calendar?

The Oregon Registry Online Training Calendar lists child care training available throughout the state. The training may be used to meet requirements for:

  • Child Care Division (CCD) licensing,
  • the DHS Enhanced Rate Program, and
  • the Oregon Registry step application

While many of the trainings listed on the calendar will meet these requirements, it is your responsibility to make sure the training will satisfy your specific needs.

You can learn more about CCD training requirements by following this link to the Child Care Division's website and viewing the rule book for the type of care you provide:
