I work full time and don’t feel I have the time to be in a classroom for training. What are my options?

Many approved trainers offer flexible schedules including intensive weekend only options. CCE has also approved a comprehensive distance learning curriculum offered by Rokicki and Associates, Inc out of Florida. Other distance learning curricula will be available soon and will be posted on this site.

I have completed the required training through a CCE approved trainer. My highest educational level completed is an associates degree. At this time, I do not have enough hours to satisfy the experience requirement. What can I do?

Because you have successfully completed the required training, you may be eligible for provisional certification. Once provisional certification is awarded, you have two years to complete the experience requirement.

I sent my application with the required money. My check was cashed. Doesn’t this mean I should be certified now.
