CDA Renewal
A CDA Credential is valid for 3 years from the initial award date. Subsequent renewals are required every 5 years. The CDA Council requires that all CDA Renewal Candidates meet the following 5 criteria.
1. Documented current
First Aid Certificate.
2. Documented proof of
4.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or a 3 credit-hour course.
All of our classes can be used toward the 4.5 CEU requirement.
3. Minimum of
80 hours of documented recent (within last year)
work experience.
4. A
Letter of Recommendation form completed by an Early Childhood Education Professional.
5. Documented
organizational membership in a national or local early childhood professional organization.
There is a small fee for the renewal application packet that you must obtain from the CDA Council. You can obtain more specific information about this process by going to the CDA Council website.
Director/Staff Credential Renewal
When you order the
Renewal Package you will be able to
choose 45 hours from any of the classes listed (See Class List) except First Aid, HIV and Bloodborne Pathogens. All classes provide an approved CEU credit based upon the number of hours taken. Each hour is worth one tenth (1/10th) of a CEU; every 10 hours provides you with a full CEU. You can select whichever classes you wish to take up to 45 hours to help you fulfill your credential renewal. If you have specific questions, please call 800-346-4915.
