Head Start Webinars
Every month, our attorneys host a 75-minute webinar on a different Head Start topic. These webinars provide ongoing professional educational opportunities on key issues important to your programs.

Federal Grant Management Toolkit Pricing
Head Start Training Package holders receive 50% off the Federal Grant Management Toolkit, designed to help guide both new and experienced grantees through the rules of the federal grant system. The toolkit includes detailed narrative discussions of important grant management requirements, customizable sample policies and procedures, and ready-to-use checklists.

There are no continuing education credits associated with this package.
Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course.
As a Head Start Training Package holder, if you need a certificate of attendance for a webinar, you must use the promo code to register for and enroll in the specific webinar (live or recorded version). Due to the nature of this particular course page, we are unable to verify completion of the recordings embedded here and cannot issue a certificate.
Group attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation.
