Child-Specific Certificate of Approval, or within 30 days after the
placement of a child or young adult in a home
that has been issued a Temporary Certificate of
Approval.
(2) Except as
provided in sections (3) to (7) of this rule, each applicant
and certified resource family must complete required
resource parent training before or within 12 months after the
date on which the certificate was issued, or provide written documentation of
completion of equivalent training content from another licensed child-caring
agency within two years of an applicant's dated application
for certification if approved as described in section (6) of this
rule.
(3) Completion of
required resource parent training may be required by the
Department prior to issuing a Certificate of
Approval.
(4) A
certified resource family is exempt from section (2) of this
rule if a written, individualized training plan, specific to the needs of the
child or young adult in the care or custody
of the Department placed in the home, has been approved by a
certification supervisor and developed within 90 days after a
Child-Specific Certificate of Approval or Temporary
Certificate of Approval has been issued by the
Department.
(5)
When an applicant applies for adoption, the
Department-approved training must be completed prior to
approval for adoption per
413-120-0246.
(6) Required resource parent
training is required if an applicant previously certified by
the Department has not been certified within the preceding two
years unless:
(a) Alternative training has
been approved under sections (3) or (4) of this rule; or
(b) The certification
supervisor waives the training requirement based on the
applicant's documented knowledge and skills in caring for a
child or young adult placed in the home by
the Department.

Resource parent training
is not required if the applicant provides written
documentation of completion of equivalent training content from another
licensed child-caring agency within two years of an

required during a certification period; and
