Training requirements
Texas requires foster parents to complete pediatric first aid and CPR training before a child is placed in the home.
Your agency can confirm which members of the household need the training.
Recommended courses
| Course | Who it is for | Fee per person |
|---|---|---|
| Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED | Child-care staff, foster parents and babysitters | $95 |
Fees are per person for groups of four or more, taught at your location.
How we work with you
Agencies can book a class for each new group of foster parents, at the agency or another convenient location.
- Evening and weekend classes are available.
- Families receive eCards the same day, so placement paperwork is not held up.
Requirements change from time to time. Confirm the exact training your organization needs with your licensing agency, board or employer.
