ECOOL is transitioning from HDI Learning to Inspire Learning Hub and will be live for online registration beginning 12/1/2026.
Anyone enrolled before the transition will have until 12/31 to complete ECOOL on HDI Learning.
Please ensure you can complete the training before 11/30 before registering, as no refunds will be offered.
If you are purchasing a group order, do not enroll a learner into ECOOL if they will not be able to complete the training before 11/30/2026. We also recommend purchasing only enough seats for staff you know will complete by 11/30.
Please contact HDI Learning if you have any questions about the transition.
This online course fulfills the mandatory 6-hour orientation requirement for early care and education professionals in Kentucky.
Orientation training consists of three lessons:
- Health, safety & sanitation – 2 hours
- Includes mandatory First Aid and CPR Training
- Recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect – 1 hour
- Recommended practices in early care and education – 3 hours
Learners should have access to a printer for copies of supplemental handouts and other information that they may want to keep.
All activities must be completed in all three modules for a certificate to be awarded. Except for non-graded activities (NG); which pertain to your experiences or your work environment, activities must be completed at 80% or better correct rate. Activities may be redone until at least 80% correct is achieved.
Upon successful completion of the course, a Recognition of Course Completion will display within the course. In addition, your personal training record will be updated in COLT-TRIS within 10 days. Please note that with the transition to COLT-TRIS, we cannot guarantee that credit will be entered within 10 days. The completion certificate emailed to you can serve as verification of completion until it appears on your training record.
