Currently, only individuals who are employed by military child and youth programs are eligible to create a user account. However, the �Թ�� content is still available to ALL users, even those without an account.

Military child and youth programs:

All Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine child and youth programs will begin using the �Թ�� over the next year. Each service has established an implementation timeline that best meets the needs of their specific programs and staff. You will be given registration and log-in instructions through your program leadership when the �Թ�� is launched for your program.

In the meantime, to get a preview of what your child and youth programs will be using in the near future, we would encourage you to continue to explore the �Թ�� website! All of the content is available to the public to view, without a log-in.

Why aren’t completion certificates available to all users?

Jim Pickett — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:56:43 +0000

Why aren’t completion certificates available to all users? Jim Pickett Tue, 10/11/2016 - 11:56

Issuing a completion certificate is one way of verifying that a user has viewed online content. The �Թ�� professional development and resource system engages learners further by embedding interactive learning activities within the online content. By pairing opportunities for reflective practice and supervision with one-on-one interactions between learners and coaches, the �Թ�� seeks to positively impact how professionals approach their work with children and families each and every day.

Individuals working in military child and youth programs receive this one-on-one support for their learning from military programs’ training and curriculum specialists. Training and curriculum specialists actively mentor staff at all stages of learning, as well as track progress and verify that learners have completed all learning activities prior to being issued a completion certificate.

We are actively exploring ways to offer this new approach to professional development to all �Թ�� users in the future.

Yes! The �Թ�� is designed to empower child and youth care and education professionals as they build their knowledge and skills around research-based practices.
