In July, a letter was issued, “Important Changes to SUTQ Professional Development Requirements.” This letter stated the required online courses (Ohio’s Approach to Quality and Ohio’s Overview of Child Development) would be available in the Ohio Professional Registry (OPR) on September 1, 2016. Due to technical difficulties, the courses are not yet available. We are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
You will be notified via email when the courses are available in OPR. However, you may continue to check OPR to see if the courses become available in the near future. The timeline below is based on the date the courses become available on the OPR website.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
NEW! Updated
Timeline for Required Online Courses
Ohio’s Overview of Child Development
Exemption Requirements
Professionals who have completed a post-secondary level course in child development in the past six years, with a grade of C or higher or a Pass when taken Pass/Fail, will be exempt from completing the Overview of Child Development course.
In order to receive the Child Development course exemption, professionals will need to upload their transcript to the education area in their Ohio Professional Registry profile. More detailed directions for this process are available on the Step Up To Quality website.
Questions about the Child Development course exemption or verification of education transcripts can be sent to pdcertificate@occrra.org.
All professionals must complete the Ohio’s Approach to Quality course.
The OPR will
generate a notice after the professional’s date of hire, reminding the program
administrator and professional that the program’s rating is dependent on the
professional completing the two required courses.
