How to sign up for the OPDN Registry

The Ohio Professional Directory Network Registry provides a centralized, coordinated system for Ohio early childhood and afterschool professionals to track and be recognized for their experience, education, credentials and training.

To register for 4C workshops in Ohio you must have an account through the OPDN Registry.

How to sign up for an account:

Go the Registry page on the OPDN Web site (www.opdn.org) and click "Sign UP for OPDN.org" in the upper right-hand corner.
Enter your date of birth and the last 5 digits of your Social Security Number and click “Next.” This will verify that you do not already have an account. (If you do already have an account, the system will let you know and give you the option to reset your password.)
Enter your contact information and click “Next.”
Choose your employment type. If you work at a child care center or are a Type A Family Child Care provider, you will need to provide your program license number. This number can be found at: http://www.odjfs.state.oh.us/cdc
An email will be sent to the email account associated with your profile. This email contains a link to set the password for your profile. Click this link and follow the instructions. Once you have created a password, you are ready to register for classes using this OPDN account.

How to register for workshops:

Visit www.opdn.org and log in. In the red bar at the top, click “PDTrack (Trainings).”
You may need to read a disclaimer and click “I Agree.”
Click “Go to basic search.”
In “Date Range,” select the dates that you want to search between.

To see all workshops happening in the state during that time, simply click the “Search” button.
To search for a specific workshop, type the title (or part of the title) into Training Title Search and then click the “Search” button.
To search only in a certain county, find “Select all counties?” and click No, then click the “Search” button.

When you find the workshop you want in the list, click the “More Information” button next to it.
If there are spaces available and the registration deadline has not passed, you will see a “Click here to register” button. Once you have clicked that, your registration is complete!
If the workshop has a fee, you will be given a link to pay. We must receive your payment one week before the date of the workshop, or your registration will be cancelled.
