Parent Education Providers


 

 

Most agencies offer a five-hour Parent Education Program, and hold two sessions of two-and-one-half hours each. You must attend both sessions in order to receive certification of attendance. 

 

A number of agencies offer a slightly longer program, or may split the five hours up differently. Make sure that you inquire about the time requirements and schedule of the specific program that you will be attending.
