    What if I think the training should be listed but I can not find it?


    • Trainings will only show up if the training organization has published the training.  You can contact the training organization directly if, for example, no trainings show up in your county.The Registry is a database (and is not like a Google search) you must enter the information correctly.

    • The Registry is required by state-funded training organizations, not all agencies are required to use the Registry.

    • Make sure there is an Event ID on the link you are trying to use. If not, contact the Registry for assistance.
