New Step Up To Quality Prerequisite Requirements
SUTQ Specialized Training is approved training for administrators, lead teachers and assistant teachers. This is an annual training requirement that is based on employee’s hire date. Approved specialized training is based on current research and evidence based practices. Ten hours of specialized training is now required annually for all programs. In-service training in basic health and safety such as First Aid, CPR, Communicable Disease and Child Abuse do not count as specialized training.
