How many training hours does South Carolina require each year?

South Carolina requires at least 15 clock hours of training per year for child care staff under SC DSS and ABC Quality. Center directors are responsible for 20 hours. You can carry up to 5 unused hours into the following year.

Can Camille's training count toward my South Carolina hours?

Yes. South Carolina recognizes outside and independent training through SC Endeavors. Each session of one hour or more can count when you submit it as an individual training request in your own SC Endeavors account, with your sessions spanning at least three topic areas.

What is SC Endeavors and do I need an account?

SC Endeavors is South Carolina's professional registry and training-review system. Yes — you'll need your own SC Endeavors account, because individual training requests (the way outside training like Camille's is recognized) are submitted by the educator from inside that account.

Do unused training hours carry over in South Carolina?

Up to 5 unused clock hours carry over into the next year. The hours should still cover a range of early-childhood topic areas rather than repeating one subject.

Is Camille's training automatically approved by ABC Quality?

Camille delivers the training and provides a certificate of completion; she is not claiming automatic ABC Quality or SC DSS approval. South Carolina recognizes the hours through your SC Endeavors individual training request, which is what makes them count toward your requirement.

South Carolina child care training: 15 clock hours a year, logged through SC Endeavors

South Carolina child care staff need at least 15 clock hours of training every year under SC DSS and the ABC Quality program. Camille delivers those hours in early-childhood topics you can apply right away — and because South Carolina recognizes outside training through SC Endeavors, you submit each session as an individual training request in your own SC Endeavors account.

What counts

What counts in South Carolina

South Carolina sets the bar at 15 clock hours of training per year for child care staff, with up to 5 unused hours carried over into the following year. Center directors carry a higher load of 20 hours. The hours should span a range of early-childhood topic areas rather than repeating a single subject — South Carolina looks for breadth across at least three topic areas.

SC Endeavors is South Carolina's registry and training-review system, working alongside SC DSS licensing and the ABC Quality rating program. Out-of-state and independent trainings — including Camille's — can count toward your annual hours, but they don't appear automatically. Each session of one hour or more is recognized when you, the educator, submit it through an individual training request inside your SC Endeavors account.

Here's exactly how Camille's training applies in South Carolina: attend a live or virtual session, collect the certificate of completion she issues, then log it as an individual training request in SC Endeavors. As long as your sessions cover at least three different topic areas and each runs an hour or longer, they build toward your 15 hours. (South Carolina records the hours through SC Endeavors; Camille's role is to deliver the training and the documentation you submit.)

How it works

Earn your hours in South Carolina

From picking a format to your certificate — here's the path for South Carolina.

1. Pick a format that fits ABC Quality
Choose a live in-person workshop, a virtual session, or a custom training for your center. Camille focuses on practical early-childhood topics so each session maps to a real SC Endeavors topic area — and you cover the three-plus areas South Carolina wants to see.
2. Train with Camille
Complete a session of one hour or more. Camille teaches the strategies you can use Monday morning — classroom management, child development, family engagement, health and safety — the kinds of topics South Carolina counts toward your annual hours.
3. Earn your clock hours
Each qualifying session adds to your 15-hour annual requirement (20 for directors). Stack sessions across the year, and remember South Carolina lets you carry up to 5 unused hours into the next year so nothing goes to waste.
4. Get your certificate & log it in SC Endeavors
Camille issues a certificate of completion for every session. Submit it as an individual training request in your own SC Endeavors account to have the hours recognized toward your South Carolina requirement.
