Which courses are approved to meet my state’s professional development requirements?

Most states post approval information in a training calendar, registration system, or listing of approved courses or training organizations.

Do I need to sign up for the course on my state’s professional development registry/calendar before starting it on the iPD?

This too varies by state. States with training registration systems typically require registry members to first register through the state’s system. States with training calendars usually include registration information in the training details.

Where can I find my state identification number?

State identification numbers are typically located on your state’s profile landing page. To find your state identification number, log in to your profile on your state’s professional development registry. Identification numbers are usually posted on the landing page of your profile.

How long does it take for course completion to be verified in my state’s development registry/calendar?

Turnaround time for verifications can vary, depending on the process for each state. To expedite the verification process, be sure that your profile on the iPD meets the following requirements:

• It is complete with state and state identification number.
• Your name in your iPD account matches your registry account. Watch out for things like a nickname or a maiden name.                                                                           
• The email address in your iPD account matches the email listed in your registry account.

Also, make certain that you completed the iPD course and can download the completion certificate.
