Black Friday 10 Hour Health and Safety Orientation Deal for Georgia - post

Are you a new early childhood educator in Georgia?  Do you still need to take the 10-Hour Health and Safety Orientation or focused courses such as Safe Sleep Training Buy Now $16.00, but unsure of which one to take?  Taking ten hours of training can seem like a daunting task, and not knowing which format to choose from can make it very stressful on a new teacher. 

Which 10-Hour Health & Safety Orientation should I take in Georgia?

The 10-Hour Health & Safety Orientation is the DECAL-required baseline for staff with direct care responsibilities. Our 10-Hour Health and Safety Orientation concentrates on prevention and control of infectious disease, safe sleep and SIDS prevention, medication administration, allergy and emergency response, playground and water safety, and recognition and reporting of child abuse and neglect. The orientation is structured to meet Georgia's Bright from the Start expectations for clock hours and content alignment.

How do I verify a course is DECAL / Bright from the Start-approved on GaPDS?

Use the GaPDS training search to confirm an Approved Sponsor Organization (ASO) and to view the specific training approval. Search the GaPDS website and enter our ASO code (TR-ASO-76) to see the full list of approved trainings. For guidance about completing online hours and logging them with your employer or licensing representative, see our article GAPDS Training Hours: Complete Online Courses with ChildCareEd.

How should I schedule and document the training within my first 90 days?

Georgia requires that new CCLC and FCCLH staff with direct care responsibilities complete at least 10 state-approved hours within the first 90 days of employment. Best practice for documentation:

1. Complete the training and download or print the ChildCareEd certificate (it contains course title, clock hours, completion date).
2. Retain your certificate and provide a copy to your employer or licensing representative; employers should retain the certificate in personnel files for inspection.
3. If you have questions about crediting hours toward other credentials or the 45-hour requirement, consult our overview 45-Hour Child Care Training in Georgia.

What other ChildCareEd courses pair well with the 10-Hour Orientation?

Several focused courses reinforce the orientation content and are commonly taken after the 10-hour orientation, including:

• Administration of Medicine Buy Now $16.00 — documentation, consent, and safe administration practices.
• Safe Sleep Training Buy Now $16.00 — required for infant/toddler caregivers and aligned with SIDS guidance.
• Abuse and Neglect: Signs and Reporting Buy Now $25.00 — recognition and mandated reporting procedures.

How do I enroll and claim the Black Friday $25 offer?

To claim the Black Friday price and complete the orientation:

1. Visit the 10-hour course page: 10-Hour Health and Safety Orientation.
2. Register or sign in to your ChildCareEd account and complete the checkout process; the $25 promotional price will be applied at purchase during the promotional period.
3. Complete the self-paced modules; the course includes text, narrated content, and short videos to support comprehension and retention.
4. Download/print your completion certificate and provide it to your employer to meet DECAL documentation requirements.

When is the Black Friday $25 offer valid and who is eligible?

Most Black Friday promotions on courses are time-limited and apply only during the promotional window. To make this useful for Georgia providers: check the course page banner and the checkout page for the promotional price before you purchase. The $25 Black Friday price is applied during the promotional period at checkout and typically covers the standard single-user purchase of the 10-Hour Health & Safety Orientation; it is not usually combinable with other discounts or institutional bulk pricing. If you are buying on behalf of staff, confirm whether the promotion applies to multiple enrollments or if separate purchases are required. Steps to confirm eligibility and avoid surprises:

1. Verify the promotional price is visible on the 10-Hour course page and in your shopping cart before completing payment.
2. Read the promotion's terms on the course page for restrictions (for example, new enrollments only, single-use per account, or limited-time availability).
3. If your employer is paying, confirm whether the $25 purchase meets their procurement rules and whether an invoice is needed—save your payment receipt and the downloadable completion certificate.
4. If you need help or a price adjustment because a banner or checkout price did not apply, contact ChildCareEd support immediately with your order details so they can confirm eligibility or issue a refund/adjustment per their stated policy.

How does the 10-Hour Orientation satisfy Georgia DECAL requirements?

The 10-Hour Health & Safety Orientation is the baseline DECAL-required training for staff with direct care responsibilities in Georgia child care programs (for example, CCLC and FCCLH staff). To confirm state approval, use the GaPDS training search (link earlier in this article) and enter the Approved Sponsor Organization (ASO) code TR-ASO-76 or search for the exact course title. Practical items to ensure the training will be accepted by your employer and licensing monitor:

1. Complete the DECAL-approved 10-Hour course and download the ChildCareEd completion certificate; the certificate shows course title, clock hours and completion date which are required for personnel files.
2. Complete the orientation within the first 90 days of employment if you have direct-care responsibilities—this timeframe is explicitly required by DECAL for new hires at many program types; keep the certificate in your personnel file for licensing inspections.
3. If you plan to apply hours toward the 45-hour requirement or other credentials, confirm with your employer or licensing specialist how the hours will be credited; our linked overview on 45-Hour training explains common crediting practices.
4. If GaPDS shows the training approval, capture a screenshot of the GaPDS training record (ASO and training approval information) along with your certificate as additional documentation for your employer or licensing reviewer.

These actions make verification straightforward for employers and licensing representatives and reduce the risk that an online orientation will be rejected for documentation reasons.

Summary: What should Georgia providers take away?

Complete a DECAL-approved 10-hour orientation within your first 90 days, verify the course on GaPDS (ASO TR-ASO-76), keep your certificate on file, and consider complementary trainings (medication administration, safe sleep, abuse & neglect reporting) to strengthen your program's compliance and child safety practices.
