after the start of the training; after 15 minutes you will not be permitted to join the training and this will be considered a “missed class”. Refunds or credits are not issued for a missed class.

A certificate will only be given for attending the entire training session/series (ex: if you leave early you will not receive a certifi-cate). If you miss any part of a multi-part course, you will not receive certificate. All training sessions end on time. Participants must ensure modes of transportation are secured for prompt pick-up. Abilities Network is not responsible for participants who remain outside the building.

Due to our building's security, if you exit the building during a training, you will be unable to return. This includes leaving the floor the training takes place on.

Registration for trainings must be done 48 hours prior to the training date. Please note, some events reach max enrollment and providers will be unable to register for training after full capacity is reached.

Training Format Training sessions are recognized and approved by the Maryland State Department of Education – Office of Child Care (OCC). In

accordance with COMAR, an assessment is given at all training sessions. Successful completion of course materials includes a passing score on the assessment and will earn a Core of Knowledge certifi-

cate. Certificates take 4 to 6 weeks to process and will be mailed to the address provided at registration. If a participant does not receive a passing score, the participant will be contacted by email to set up a time to review the training

and earn a passing score. If within two weeks of contact , the participant still does not receive a passing score, no training certifi-cate will be issued.

The duplicate certificate fee is $10.00 which must be paid in full before certificate request is processed. Refund/Credits Registration is non-refundable. In the event a student wishes to cancel registration, a credit for future training may be issued. Cancellations must be received 48 hours prior the scheduled start time. Credits for future training must be used within 6 months of canceled training date. Missed training sessions will not be credited.

Classes cancelled due to low enrollment will be cancelled 72 hours

ahead of time. You will be notified by email if a class is cancelled. We will do our best to reschedule or substitute the training. If the training

cannot be rescheduled, a substitution cannot be arranged, or if you are unable to attend the rescheduled training, you will receive a full refund.
