Annual Training Hours for Licensing in myORO

What are annual training hours?

These are the hours required by the Department of Early Learning and Care's Office of Child Care (DELC-OCC) to maintain a facility’s license.
What will you see in myORO?

If you are linked to a licensed facility by the DELC-OCC, go to the Enrollment > My employment tab. You will see a breakout of total training hours for the current licensing period for each facility. The columns will be labeled with: Child Development, Safety Set and Other. If you are NOT linked to a facility you will not see any information on the “My Employment” page in myORO.

Why would you want to view this information?

The annual training hours in myORO is a tool to help track your training hours for licensing compliance purposes. It helps you to be proactive about sending in training, recognizing when training hours are posted, and gives you the ability to plan how many additional hours are needed to fulfill the licensing renewal requirements.
How often does the training information get updated?

The annual training hours in myORO are updated in real time, assuming new training has been submitted and processed to contribute to the total number of hours.
Why doesn’t the Professional Development Statement (PDS) match the annual training hours?

The PDS is a summary of all training and education submitted to ORO. The annual training hours are a calculation of hours which will count for a current licensing period. These are hours taken within the facility’s licensing period. Refer to the PDS to ensure Safety Set trainings (First Aid, CPR, Food Handler’s, RRCAN) are complete and current.
Are the training hours listed in myORO the same as the Staff Qualification and Training Log (SQTL)?

The training hours you see in myORO should be the same as the SQTL. An example of when the hours would not match is when an SQTL report was printed before training hours were added to your account. The SQTL is updated nightly.
What are the OCC licensing requirements for renewal?

Training hours requirements will vary according to facility type, position, and hire date. For specific questions about licensing requirements, please ask your Director, refer to the Office of Child Care Rules or contact your Licensing Specialist.
