Participants may earn "P" in-service credits from the New York City Department of Education or up to 175 hours for State License requirements. P-credits should be applied for first with the NYC DOE via The After School Professional Development Program (ASPDP). Then, after registering with ASPDP, you can return to NYBG to register with us.
