Questions

Everything people ask before they start.

Who is the certification for?
Parents, nannies, grandparents and anyone else who cares for a child in the first two years. No prior training is assumed.
How long does it take?
Most people finish in a few evenings. Every lesson is narrated, so you can listen while you fold laundry and pick up exactly where you left off.
What do I get at the end?
A Hayden credential with a unique code. Anyone — a parent, an agency, an employer — can confirm it is genuine on our public verification page.
How does payment work?
The certification is billed once a year. Your renewal keeps your access to every lesson and keeps your credential current.
Do you certify nurseries and agencies?
We do. Location certification covers your whole team with shared reporting. Use the “For places” path and we'll be in touch.

Two minutes to start. One credential to show for it.
