School-age care providers need to complete training before they begin providing care. Providers also need to continue training throughout their career.

School-Age Basics (SAB) is the initial training you need to complete to meet part of the health and safety requirements for working in licensed school-age programs.

Read the Completing School-Age Basics Guide for more information about the SAB requirement and how to complete it.
