# How long will it take to finish the Liaison training?

Completion of the Liaison training depends on the liaison’s level of knowledge and experience. Veteran liaisons can usually skip to the tests, pass each one, and earn a certificate within an hour or so. New liaisons who need to watch the videos and read the resources in order to pass the tests will require longer – on average, 4-5 hours to complete.

Whether you are a District Liaison or a School Liaison, you will take the same 4-hour training. The requirement to take the training will depend on your district/county/state.

We hope this answers your question!  Should you have any questions or if you encounter any issues, please let us know at [support@mckinney-vento.org](http://support@mckinney-vento.org/).
