1. Does my spouse/partner have to attend pre-service training?

Yes, even though one adult may be the primary care giver for children, both adults have to attend training and participate in the entire certification process.

2. How long will the certification process take?

We estimate the process to become certified with our program will take approximately 4.5 months from the time you complete a pre-application meeting until your certification caseworker completes a home visit. This time may vary depending on your ability to complete the required application.

3. How much does it cost to become certified?

We ask families to cover the cost of processing their background checks, currently the cost is $39.50 per person. The other cost is becoming CPR and First Aid certified. That cost will vary. Our agency will cover  the cost of training and the home study.
