ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI), an accredited online child care training provider dedicated exclusively to the early care and education workforce, has partnered with the University of Phoenix for more than a decade and recently renewed their articulation agreement partnership.
CCEI students who complete CDA, CDA Renewal, Director’s Certificate or FCCPC Certificate programs may articulate up to four (4) semester hours of Interdisciplinary/Elective Credit to University of Phoenix through the Prior Learning Assessment process. Additionally, students completing CCEI professional development may articulate their training as elective credit. Thirty (30) hours of training is equivalent to one (1) hour of elective credit.

Students interested in CCEI certificate programs or professional development courses should contact CCEI’s Admissions Department at 1.800.499.9907. “As requirements for childcare staff increase, educational partnerships open up opportunities for early childhood teachers to meet their goals, which increasingly include a college degree,” said Maria C. Taylor, President and CEO of CCEI.
