Need to know if your state accepts CCEI’s coursework?

Some of the child care staff training material presented in these child care staff certification courses may differ from the specific child care center requirements of state or local regulatory agencies and other compliance organizations. Some jurisdictions also limit the number of courses per day or course hours that will be recognized for licensing or other child care requirements. Please check with your child care center director or regulatory office(s) to ensure the courses you plan to take will satisfy the requirement(s) for which you are taking them.
