South Dakota does not have a formal approval process in place for training programs and services offered through organizations.  If a South Dakota provider chooses to participate in any outside training opportunity whether it be in-person, live on-line or online on-demand, course content information for the training obtained would need to be pre-approved by the program’s licensing specialist to ensure it will fall under one of the licensing training topic areas to count as training hours for licensing.
