I am loving the structure and organization of this program. It really is detailed enough to give me all the information I need without feeling overwhelmed. 
Plus, the quickness of the assignment checks is really reassuring!

​The whole process was straightforward, instructions were clear. The course is very useful and engaging. It can be accessed from the desktop of the phone and will show your progress so you can continue where you left off.

I really enjoyed this class. I learned so much about myself and that this is truly the field for me. I also learned a lot of valuable information about resolving conflict with some of the children in my class who tend to be violent. I hope that I can help them even more in the future. I also liked that I could do this at my own pace, especially because I am already a full time student and full time teacher. I would have lost my mind on one more thing that had specific due dates.

​I’ve started recently with successful solutions. This Online course is awesome, I'm doing it on my own pace, and love the quizzes at the end of each chapter to make sure you understand and kind of a review to all what you read. And the chat is there on each page to ask anything that comes to mind and they answer really fast.

​I don't know how I could even think of caring for children without this training. I was able to apply it to my work as I progressed in the training. I never wanted it to end. I saved all of the documents and made a list of websites to return to for more exploration. My supervisor allowed me to take my lap top into the classroom and work on stars while my toddlers slept their nap. I literally would think, as soon as they wake up, I'm going to try this technique. The only negative feedback I have is that all of the videos of centers seemed so perfect. I work in a non-profit that barely squeaks by each month. Our facility is not attractive, our resources are old and our staff is not the best and brightest. We also serve a lot of really challenged kids. But we do the best we can with what we have. Thank you so much for all of the time and thought that went into this 30-hour training. I look forward to continuing my studies.

I was delighted on how user friendly this course has been. I had been delaying starting the course because I am not in love with screen time. I have already used some of the information and guidance on communicating with parents and appreciated the refresher for expectations of child development of the different ages.

I like the online program. It was very convenient to work at my own pace. I liked the different styles of teaching and learning material. I feel that the cost was affordable. Each module was precise and to the point. Comment questions were thought provoking. I'm glad someone was available to answer questions right away. I used Live Chat when I first was looking online about how to become certified through the state of Washington. There was another company offering online STARS training, however they didn't have live chat available and couldn't answer my questions, Successful Solutions Development did so I chose them.

I love, love, love going at my own rate. I loved how helpful the trainer was. Being online, its hard to know who's behind the scenes and I wonder how qualified they are. I was more than thoroughly pleased with the support and knowledge from the trainer as well as the online chat support. Both were extremely knowledgeable and prompt, exceeding my expectations in a supreme way. In a nutshell: you rock! :-)  Online chat is a way to feel connected to the students. When I used it the one time, I was provided with more knowledgeable and friendly help than expected creating a tremendous amount of relief that there was support and oddly even made me feel connected to the anonymous people behind the scenes of the course.

I truly believe these are very applicable trainings. Perhaps it is because it is part of the CDA training. Some of the other STARS/MERIT trainings available (not through Successful Solutions) are so rudimentary that they border on ridiculous. All of the trainings I have done through Successful Solutions have been excellent. Thank you!

And if I have questions I can chat with successful solutions anytime. I couldn't be happier with this program. I would give the program an A.

The lessons are easy to follow and are straight to the point. They are loaded with the exact information towards the topic and the test are simple and multiple choice or true or false and if its a missed answer to a question it will have you review that material. I look forward to my lessons it's not an overload of material and an easy read or it reads to you a great way to stay focused.

I completed the class in 4 days to get it completed. The class was very informative and the multi-method of teaching was superior. The other resources provided helped with answering the essay questions. It will help me in caring for children at the daycare. I think that this or a similar program should be made available for all new parents.

I purchased the full program of CDA Training Virtual Classroom ( 8 Units) This is my third week and I am already at the end of Unit 2. Everything is working great so far. The lesson are knowledgeable full of information and hands on activities, quizzes are easy with repetitive options, very helpful on step by step portfolio buildup. I am using my mobile phone and no issues so far. The trainers are so helpful and ready to chat all the time if help needed. I love the way they check for any missing assignments and notify via e-mail.
