SOUTH CAROLINA PART C CREDENTIAL RENEWAL PROCESS
After personnel have completed BabyNet Basics (in TECSBOOK 2.0) and earned the South Carolina Part C Credential, the next step is Credential renewal. BabyNet personnel are required to renew the S.C. Part C Credential every 2 years.
If you earned the S.C. Part C Credential on or before August 31, 2011, then your renewal must be completed by August 31, 2013.

CREDENTIAL RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS
Credential Renewal process document in Text

BabyNet personnel must obtain a total of 12 professional development credit hours.

 *BabyNet personnel who have previously completed TECSBOOK 1.0 lessons may use these hours (1 hour each, 8 lessons) may use these hours toward TECS Sponsored trainings, Pre-approved Outside training or a combination of both.

Any newly hired personnel who need to obtain their initial S.C. Part C Credential will have 90 days to complete BabyNet Basics.  See SC Part C Credential New Hire webpage for more information.

TECS SPONSORED TRAININGS AND UPDATED BABYNET BASICS
In order to complete some of the TECS Sponsored trainings and Updated BabyNet Basics requirement, personnel will need to log into SCEILS.

BabyNet Advanced section will contain topic-specific trainings (usually developed or adapted by TECS). These are TECS Sponsored trainings.  For TECS Sponsored face-to-face trainings, attendees need to sign the attendance roster. We will use the attendance roster to add this training credit to your TECSBOOK account. If you attended but didn’t receive credit, please contact us through the Helpdesk.

PRE-APPROVED OUTSIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Renewal credit hours can also be earned by completing outside professional development activities. However, these activities must receive pre-approval from TECS to count toward renewal credit hours. In order to obtain pre-approval, personnel need to submit a request (ticket) to the TECS Helpdesk online.  In the request description, personnel need to include a Web link to the professional development activity of interest and explain how it relates to the core competencies.
The five core competencies are: 1) Early Intervention Foundations, 2) Child Development and Learning, 3) Family and Community Relationships and Supports, 4) Evaluation and Assessment and Service Coordination, and 5) Delivery and Implementation.

BABYNET STATE OFFICE TRAININGS
There will be mandatory policy trainings required by BabyNet State Office that will be separate from the BabyNet Credential.

*For additional information on the BabyNet requirement for a SC Part C Credential for all personnel, please refer to policy, regulatory, or contract requirements.
