- Common Technical Issues
Our training classes are primarily for employees of the Colorado Department of Human Services, County or Tribal departments of human or social services, and foster, kinship and adoptive parents who are certified (or working towards certification) through a county agency or licensed Child Placement Agency. They are also open to Guardians ad Litem and judges who hear child welfare proceedings. As space allows, other community partners are welcome to attend; however, non-child welfare attendees may be "bumped" if space is needed for other participants. There is no registration fee.
If an opening for the class occurs and you are next in line on the waitlist, you will be automatically moved into the class and sent a confirmation email with a calendar invite.
Participants who do not attend the entire class are considered “incomplete participants.” We do not provide partial Training Hours for incomplete participants.
In some cases, incomplete participants can receive credit for the class by making arrangements with the provider to attend another class or complete makeup assignments.
If a class has a pre-requisite, that pre-requisite must be successfully completed before you will be able to register for the class in question.
Before the class, you will receive a confirmation email with key information about the class. Class start and end time is also in the class details section of the class information.
After you register for a class, you will receive an initial email confirming your enrollment status (registered or waitlisted).
Once registered, you can see the courses for which you are enrolled under the “My courses” drop-down menu in Moodle.
For more information, go to course registration.
Participants who have successfully completed all components of a course will be awarded a certificate of completion through Moodle. You can show that certificate to your supervisor.
Yes. Each foster parent must have an individual account with a unique email address. You may not “share” an account with another person, even if it is your spouse, significant other, or child. Each student taking a class must have his or her own account, as that’s what allows our system to track your training and give you credit for classes you’ve taken.
Your training provider may have dropped you from the class in question. Check the email account under which you registered for an email explaining why.

Training is provided by region in Colorado. Many classes are held at Regional Learning Centers (RLCs).
