Foster Parent Classes
Welcome!
You are invited to attend a Foster Parent College (FPC) Blended Pre-service Training with the Minnesota Child Welfare Training Academy (MNCWTA)! This is an opportunity to help you on your journey to give hope, help and healing to children, families, and communities through the gift of foster parenting. Below you will find information about the program and what you can expect.
Foster Parent College
FPC Blended Pre-service Training is a learning experience that combines online eLearning modules and virtual, face-to-face instruction. This course will allow you to connect with other parents in Minnesota and learn the knowledge and skills necessary to be a successful foster parent.
In total, FPC Blended Pre-service Training takes approximately two months to complete and consists of four (4) face-to-face meetings (held via Zoom) and ten (10) online modules. Because this course is being offered virtually, the length of the meetings has been reduced to avoid screen fatigue and are supplemented with pre-work assignments in the MNCWTA’s Learning Management System, Canvas. You will also have access to more than 70 eLearning modules through the FPC website.
