In addition, the CCEI FCCPC Certificate program of study has been evaluated by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS) and is recommended for 10 semester hours of articulation credit in Human/Child Development or Early Childhood Education in the lower division baccalaureate/associate degree category.

Upon successful completion of the CCEI Florida Child Care Professional Credential online program requirements, student information will be submitted to the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for issuance of the credential.
