Welcome! These online modules were created specifically for early education providers in Kentucky. Be sure to download a reflection journal to follow along with each online training YouTube video. You will be prompted to write in your answers as you go and at the end of each module you can type these answers into an online form to earn a certificate for the course. You can print and submit the certificate along with other needed documentation to ECE-TRIS for credit.
