You will remain current on The Registry for one year from the date on your certificate. Each year, the ECP will email you renewal information two months, one month and the day of your renewal date.
Check your Professional Development Record (PDR) throughout the year to make sure you are completing the 16 hours of required annual approved training. Check out the Statewide Training Calendar to find training to meet your needs in your region!
Early childhood education (look for courses listed with the EDEC rubric in Montana) college courses will count toward your renewal hours if you are a student at a regionally accredited college or university (1 semester credit = 15 hours of training, 1 quarter credit = 10 hours of training.) When you are current on the Registry, we will add your course work to your PDR when you send us transcript copies at renewal time.
