How Is Online Learning at CCEI Different?

Taking courses through CCEI’s distance education is a great way to accomplish professional development objectives, while maintaining a full or a part-time job and a busy family schedule. CCEI online distance learning offers the convenience of taking coursework from work, home, a library or anywhere internet access is available. Our accredited child care courses are a great option for students with busy schedules that may prevent them from attending more traditional scheduled in-person training. CCEI early childhood classes online are self-paced, allowing students to take them at any time. Many of CCEI’s students take child care training courses in the evenings, after their households settle in and on weekends. These students also save on gas and babysitting costs that often come with commuting to a traditional school environment. Learn more about CCEI’s accredited child care courses today!
