  A WA State Clock Hour In-Service Certification Form from the Archdiocese of Seattle.

These are the only acceptable forms of documentation for approved clock hours. Even if an agency is on the approved clock hour provider list, the clock hours are not eligible unless there is acceptable documentation. A certificate of completion, letter, or certificate of achievement or professional development cannot be used to document approved clock hours, unless the individual holds an ESA certificate and a state health professions license that requires continuing education. (ESA and License information)

*The Form SPI 1125 is a four-part (Section I, II, III, IV) form with an affidavit signed by the participant. This form is given only to the approved clock hour provider for distribution and is not available via our website. The approved clock hour provider may remove the SPI logo and place their own logo on the top of the form. Providers are also able to add additional sections/requests for information to the form. However, changes in the overall look of the form should not be made to four sections of the form so that it may be recognized by participants and employers.
