Introduction to Module 2

Welcome to Beyond Fundamentals Putting FET to Work, Module 2 Decisions, Decisions. As you proceed through this module, you will make several important decisions regarding your training session. Each of these preliminary decisions will help you develop a more organized and sequenced training plan.

This module will review each of the areas that trainers must make decisions about when beginning the process of developing a training. Along with the discussion regarding each of these decision areas an example or examples will be provided to help you process the information.

You will have to make decisions about each of these items as part of the process of developing a training plan: 

  • Selecting the training topic 
  • Identifying the length of the training 
  • Determining the level of the training (Core Content Competency) 
  • Identifying the workplace outcome 
  • Determining the skills and knowledge 
  • Prioritizing and sequencing the skills and knowledge 
  • Identifying the training outcomes 
  • Creating the training title 
  • Developing a needs assessment 

Each decision is important and requires your thoughtful attention as you begin to develop your training plan. We will look at each item separately in preparation for completing the assignment at the end of Module 2. This work will give you direction and lay the foundation for your training plan. You can download the Training Plan Worksheet now and complete throughout this Module.

Accessibility

beyond fundamentals logo with training outcome for lesson.

When creating a training session, it is important to consider how accessible the course is to all individuals.  Simply put, course accessibility refers to creating content that is useable by most people.  Accessibility is generally thought of in terms of people with physical disabilities.  In terms of accessible online course content, physical disabilities or impairments are important to consider.  Accessibility can also refer to the type of device a person is using to access course content, internet speed, internet connections, etc.   

Making courses accessible to as many people as possible is important for several reasons. 

  • As a good business practice.  More individuals can access your content and take your online trainings.   
  • It’s the right thing to do.  Creating online content that is accessible shows that you care about making everyone has equal access to the content.   

Renewal/Revocation of Credential

A Trainer’s Credential is not a lifetime credential and can be revoked.

Renewal of Credential

A Kentucky Early Care and Education Trainer’s Credential is valid for three years.  Credentials require renewal every three years; except for Level 1 which is non-renewable.

To renew, training hours are required over the course of the three year period.  For levels two (2) through four (4), trainers need 30 clock hours of training.

  • A minimum of seven (7) hours: “How to train other adults”
  • A minimum of eight (8) hours: Early care and education,
  • Fifteen (15) hours from other related professional licensure, certification, credential or any of the two options above.

Observation Requirement

In addition to the above training hour requirements, all Level 2-4 Credentialed Trainers are required to have an observation of at least one (1) training.

The observation can be completed anytime during the 3 years that the credential is active, but MUST be completed prior to submitting renewal application.

Reach out to your Regional Training Coach for additional details and information.

How to Train Others” Adult Clock Hours

To meet the renewal requirement for “How to train other adults”, trainers must obtain a minimum of 7 clock hours of training.  However, those hours can be on any of these three topics:

  • Adult Learning Theory
  • Affecting Change in Behavior
  • Organization of Training

There are different opportunities for the topics listed above.

Co-Training Requirement

Level 1 Credentialed Trainer – A Level 1 trainer must always co-train with a higher leveled Credentialed Trainer in a single topic only.

Level 2 Credentialed Trainer – Before training solo, a Level 2 trainer must have at least 12 hours of co-training with a Level 4 or Level 5 Credentialed Trainer. Co-training hours must be entered into ECE-TRIS (with both trainers listed) for verification.

Revocation of Credential

Effective July 1, 2012, revocation of a Kentucky Early Care and Education Trainer’s Credential can occur when a Trainer:

  • Falsifies a record;
  • Is in non-compliance with the administrative regulation; or
  • Does not preserve the confidentiality of training and trainee records

When a Credential is revoked, the individual may reapply after a 2 year period.
