Advanced Parenting Workshops cost $32 or more per course per person. Workshops explore advanced parenting concepts and teach problem solving skills. During a three week period, participants view an audio/video presentation and then work together through an online discussion board with bi-weekly assignments and exercises. The workshop is still self-paced and results in a Certificate of Completion, but requires specific deadlines.

Similar in delivery to our Self-Paced Courses for parents but designed for social workers, Agency Staff Training Courses teach important skills for supporting youth and caregivers. Each course is available in two versions. Participants who complete the CEU Credit version will earn Continuing Education Credits (CEU) from the National Association of Social Workers and receive a Certificate of Completion from Foster Parent College. Those who complete the non-CEU Credit version will receive a Certificate of Completion from Foster Parent College only.

As of June of 2008, National CASA officially recognized the Foster Parent College.com classes towards the CASA/GAL volunteer's annual training requirements. As advocates, we are in a unique position to make a difference, both in how a child's life is managed while in care and in what a child returns to upon reunification. The more educated we are about issues in the lives of the children and their families, the more effective we will be as advocates. I am impressed by the quality and convenience of Foster Parent College classes and feel confident recommending them to all volunteers.
