After becoming a licensed foster parent, the State of Ohio has specific requirements that need to be met in order to maintain your foster care license. Traditional Foster Parents are required to complete 40 hours of continuing training every two years and Treatment Foster Homes are required to complete 60 hours of continuing training every two years. Foster parents may complete 1/3 of these hours through online trainings or books and/or video trainings. The remainder of continuing training hours must be obtained through a classroom setting with an instructor present.
Please note** Due to the pandemic, all continuing training hours are able to be completed online until December of 2021.
