Training FAQ’s

Unfortunately, we do not currently send training reminders to those who are registered. It is the responsibility of registrants to keep track of the trainings they are attending.

Unfortunately, if you miss a training you were registered for, we are unable to reimburse you or transfer your attendance, as per our training policies.

If you are unable to attend a training and contact us by 4:00pm the day before the training is to take place, we can discuss your options regarding transferring your attendance. Call us at 608-271-9181.

As per our training policies, “Children may not attend trainings or 4-C events.”
You are welcome to bring food with you to trainings held at 4-C. There is a soda machine available, with drinks costing $1.25 (trainers do not have change).
We’re sorry, but only paid registrants are admitted to trainings, as per our training policies. However, if translation services or other personal assistance services are required, we welcome those individuals to attend (without receiving continuing education credit – those wishing to receive credit must register and pay prior to the event).

  • Please note: those providing translation services must be over the age of 18, no children may be used to offer translation services
We welcome service dogs, in accordance with ADA guidelines.

4-C provides trainings within the 4-C service delivery area. Unfortunately, we are at times restricted by funding, trainer availability, and registrant interest in what we can train in certain locations. If you’re interested in seeing a specific training in your area, feel free to email us at [email protected] with the training topic, the city/county where you are located, and the number of staff/registrants you believe would attend the training. Also note that new trainings are posted on our website every few months/quarter. Check back frequently, or register to receive periodic emails to inform you when new offerings are available.

Our agency will contract with centers, support groups, and others to offer certain trainings for a fee. For more information, see On-Demand Trainings.

We are unable to take additional registrations for trainings that are marked as “FULL.” Contact [email protected] if you’d like to be waitlisted due to a cancellation.

We are able to offer many trainings at a discounted price due to our relationship with funders, but we are unfortunately not able to lower the cost any further than what is listed. We are sorry to say that additional scholarships for trainings are not available at this time.
