Introduction:

This document explains how to register and enroll in online courses through the Professional Learning Portal (PLP). The PLP provides learners with access to courses that support their professional development and offer State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECH) credits. By enrolling in courses, learners can also fulfill professional development requirements.

If you wish to register without enrolling in a course, please refer to the Create a PLP Account without a Course Enrollment process.
