Can I use Lillio Academy for PD hours in Hawaii?
Yes! Lillio Academy courses are accepted by the Hawaii Department of Human Services and PATCH. Lillio Academy courses that are +1.5 hours can be used as voluntary professional development hours. Lillio Academy is not approved for Infant & Toddler accreditations, as this training must be completed live.
Please Note: All Webinars and Lillio Basic Courses must NOT be submitted to your registry. They do not meet specific learning requirements for the state and will not be accepted if submitted.
Sign up for Lillio Academy to complete your professional development hours at your convenience! You can work at your own pace from wherever you want. Once you complete a course, you can download your certificate!
