Level II Health and Safety Training
The Level II online, on-demand series meets ongoing training requirements for staff working in state licensed and registered child care programs who have completed the Level I SD Orientation to Child Care training series. The Level II training is to be completed within 5 years from the date the Level I orientation training was initiated. Classes in the Level II Training briefly review content from the 12 topic areas covered in the Level I SD Orientation classes as well as take a deeper look into each area. Completion of these classes will count towards your annual licensing training hours.
This training series can be taken over a short span of time or it can be taken over the period of 5 years from the time the initial SD Level I Orientation training is initiated to the 5-year deadline.
If you experience any technical issues with accessing the training or obtaining the training certificate, you may contact the Child and Family Resource Network at 800.354.8238.
