The below trainings will automatically be accepted as Alaska SEED-approved. This means that Alaska SEED Registry members who are issued transcripts, certificates for training hours and/or continuing education credits (CEUs) from any of these approved training organizations will be eligible to advance on the Alaska SEED Career Ladder.
This list does not supersede the existing Alaska SEED Training Approval System process for what is deemed as traditional child care training in Alaska (i.e., thread training and other offerings in-state).
