I just finished my first true online course and I was really pleased with the whole process. It was through CareCourses and was a 20 hour course. I'm kind of toying with the idea of going for my CDA BUT it sounds like it would take forever, plus it's costly.
But I have some questions and instead of calling them I figured I'd ask here first. ![Smile](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
It says you have to have 120 hours of trainings prior to application, does that mean 120 hours, even if some were years ago? Or does it mean only recent trainings?
When you have someone come to your house for 'verification', what does that mean? Is it like an assessment? What do they do?
Do you have to renew your CDA annually? How is that done?
I'm 61. I just don't know if it would be worth it for me to go through all of that. Anyone who has their CDA, if you wouldn't mind sharing your experiences, I'd love to hear them. Would you do it again, knowing what you know now?
