Training


Don't forget your sign-in sheet and evaluation form to document each training!

 HIPPY USA Accreditation requires "comprehensive pre-service orientation and 15 hours of annual training" as documented with a sign in sheet (keep Agenda too, especially for the Preservice Orientation of your Home Instructors).

The resources below will meet these requirements.
