What do I do after I complete the course?
After our program you will need to be observed working in a classroom
with children and then you MUST take your final exam with the C.D.A. Council.
As with all other programs, including college programs,
the fee for this test is not included in your class cost,
however, the great news is that your state may have a grant in place to help pay for this exam.
You can find more information on the ASSESSMENT GRANTS available for you state at the link below.
