North Central State College's Child Development Associate Certificate is designed to allow students to complete a cluster of coordinated courses in a shorter period of time than an associate degree. Students in associate degree programs may benefit from adding a certificate to their areas of expertise. Should a student elect to continue toward completion of the degree program, a completed CDA Credential, awarded by the Council for Early Childhood Professional Recognition, will be substituted for the required two practicums and two seminars.
