I am interested in applying for a position in early childhood education as an assistant. Would this course be beneficial?

6/12/2018 07:30:15 am

The 120 hours of CDA training is the first step in obtaining a CDA Credential. In some states, it is required to have a CDA in order to work in an early childhood program. However, most states have initial training that is required prior to the CDA. I would recommend checking with local programs in your area what their training requirements are, or researching on the state licensing website.

Can I become a daycare director after finishing and recieving a CDA? I currently have a bachelor's degree in psy with all of the mandatory child care courses completed.

9/2/2019 02:53:50 pm

The educational requirements to be a director of a child care center are different in every state. Which position the CDA Credential would meet the qualifications for will vary by state.
If you are in Washington State, the requirements to be a Director just changed on August 1, and you can see more about that at the following linkL https://www.dcyf.wa.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/RelatedCredentials.pdf

I was wondering about the virtual classes, are they videos or audio only?

8/15/2018 07:15:32 am

The CDA Virtual Classroom is text to be read, worksheets, discussion boards, and videos. If you prefer a narrated training platform (voice that reads the text) you will want to select the Nexport CDA training option. If you have more questions, click on the CHAT WITH US bubble on the lower left side of the webpage.

Regarding the CDA online course we have several questions we would like for you to answer:
-Is Successful Solutions is accredited to the CDA Council?
-Once the student finishes the online course, will Successful Solutions provide the exam or we have to do the process with the CDA Council. Do we have to contact CDA Council for them to send the evaluator? If not, do you know the cost of the exam?
-Does Successful Solutions help with the process of creating the portfolio?
-Do you provide online help (mentoring) when taking the course or is it via phone call?

We will appreciate your help concerning our doubts.

I am currently taking classes in person to receive my CDA. I have to miss some classes because I am pregnant and will have to take some time away from the classes. Would i be able to make up the courses that I miss through these courses?

11/17/2018 03:00:13 pm

Alexandra, The CDA Council requires 120 hours of training, with a minimum of 10 hours in each of the CDA content areas in order to apply for the CDA Credential. The training can be from various sources. However, you will need to figure out what content areas you have already completed, and enroll in courses to fill in the gaps for what you are missing. We do offer CDA training by units (CDA competency) or individual courses, which you can enroll in and complete to fulfill the hours that you are missing.

I am registered to start CDA classes to become a CDA. I am not currently working in a family home or preschool. Where and how do I go about getting the observation portion to complete this?

I do have 16 years in the field. but like I stated, I am currently not working with kids for the past 3 months at this time.

5/9/2019 06:07:23 pm

Susan Hight ~ It is not necessary to be currently employed in order to complete the 120 hours of CDA courses. However, in order to submit the application to the CDA Council, you will need to have 480 hours of work experience with the age group which you are applying for the credential, you will also need to be able to collect parent questionnaires, and be observed working with children in the same setting.

We can provide you with a letter of enrollment to show prospective employers that you are currently working on your CDA. Which will allow you to achieve the experience hours, and meet the other criteria to obtain a CDA.

Once you have the certificate for completing the 120 hours of CDA Training, that certificate does not expire, there is no deadline for when you have to apply for the CDA Credential. You can apply for the CDA Credential when you are ready to do so.

I have a few questions

1. Is there a way to see if there is an in person CDA course/support in my area?

2. I have worked at a Private school for the past five years and want to make to know if my work hours be valid.

3. Can my observation be done at my school?

Thank you for your time

Hi Cher,
All of our CDA Courses are completely online and available in all states. We are unable to advise you as to where you would be able to take a CDA course onsite in your local area. You may need to research by calling community colleges.
The 480 hours of work experience must be in a licensed early childhood program working with the age group of children which you are obtaining the CDA Credential. If you worked in a private school that is a licensed child care, then the hours could count.
The Verification Visit (observation) will be done at the program where you are working, which needs to be a licensed early childhood program.
You can read more about the requirements on the CDA Council website at www.cdacouncil.org.
