| | 1. | I completed the required training through a CCE approved training provider. At this time, I have not earned the required amount of career development related experience hours. I would like to obtain my certification now. Is there another application option?
You may apply for provisional status if you have completed the 120 hour GCDF training from a CCE approved provider, but have not yet earned the required amount of career development related experience hours. All requirements must be met within two years of the date provisional status is granted.
