Northwestern Michigan College and Northwest Education Services are partnering to bring high quality CDA training to meet the needs of early care and education providers in Northwest Michigan. The CDA Training sessions include: 120 hours of training required by the Council for Professional Recognition, while earning 9 college credits that will apply toward an Early Childhood Associate Degree.  The courses, ECE 101, ECE 204 and ECE 290B, can be taken in one semester and are offered during the Spring semester (Jan.-May),  or in an accelerated format during the Summer semester (July-August). 

 

T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Michigan scholarships are available to cover most or all of the cost for college credits, books and the CDA credential fee for eligible participants. Participants of the CDA training program must apply to become a student at NMC and must apply for a T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® Michigan scholarship prior to attending the CDA courses.
