Thank you for your interest in the Texas Early Childhood Professional Development System and the Texas Trainer Registry. There are currently two account types for the Texas Trainer Registry:
Non-Registered Trainer accounts are for those who wish to use the Certificate Generation Tool for free. Non-Registered Trainers are NOT approved by TECPDS to train under Child Care Licensing's Trainer Requirements. Non-Registered Trainers will have the option to continue to a Registered Trainer application at a later date if they choose to do so.
The Registered Trainer account is the traditional Trainer account associated with TECPDS that requires the completion of a Texas Trainer application to determine your qualifications to provide trainings to child care providers across the state. Registered Trainers will receive a Trainer ID number which they will be able to provide on their certificate to show their approval to train under Child Care Licensing's Trainer Requirements and are granted free use of the Certificate Generation Tool as well. This type of account is best for professional trainers, consultants, and others who are committed to maintaining a high standard of excellence in their practice.
