Non-credit training refers to professional development activities available to Providers and teaching staff in the Early Care and Education field. It is offered by many different organizations, often at low or no cost.   Generally speaking, college units are not earned for participating in these trainings. However, they do provide an important source of information on key topics.

The following are just a few of the organizations that provide quality non-credit ECE training opportunities:

• California Preschool Instructional Network (CPIN)
• Center for Child and Family Studies at WestEd
