Good questions
for your agency.
Is this the route for hiring care for my own family?
No. For family placement, go to the For parents page, which hands you to the Newborn Care Solutions Agency. This page is for agencies exploring NCS education and consulting.
Is the agency program the same as Foundational or Advanced?
No. The Agency Placement Training Program addresses the agency's placement role. Individual NCS courses have their own curriculum and entry requirements. Ask which training is included in an agency arrangement.
Can our staff receive training or consulting?
Yes. The agency program includes training access for placement staff and personal consulting. Contact the education team to discuss format, participants, scope and fees.
Does training approve a candidate for placement?
No. Training supports understanding. Review each candidate's preparation, experience, qualifications and fit through your own process. The course guide helps with education choices, not hiring decisions.
How do we ask about an agency arrangement?
Use the contact page to reach the education team about agency education and consulting. They confirm current scheduling and terms with you.
