100% ONLINE

Our CDA Program is 100% online for those who prefer this approach. Assignments for each learning unit can be completed at any time, though ongoing and continuous course progress is monitored and expected.

MEANINGFUL FIELD EXPERIENCES

Throughout the program, you will have opportunities to apply your learning to numerous scenarios that you may encounter in the field.

Online CDA Program Structure

Atlas Training is an online CDA Training Program in Child Development / Early Childhood Education. It offers Competency-Based Education (CBE) to participants on an interactive learning platform and is an alternative to the traditional online model of watching videos and taking a multiple choice quiz to demonstrate knowledge.

Participants enrolling in Atlas Training work through one topic-focused unit at a time and demonstrate that they understand and can apply what they learn prior to moving on to the next unit. Progress is based on demonstration of proficiency and/or mastery of the 13 Functional Areas of the national CDA and is measured through assessments that include discussions, assignments, reflections and multiple-choice quizzes.

Though Atlas Training’s Online CDA Program is designed as a 6-9 month program, students have flexibility within each month to complete work at their own pace. Content mastery is the focus, rather than students completing training just to earn hours to use towards the credential. We work with students who may need more time to complete assignments, as we recognize that most participants must balance their learning responsibilities with family and work demands.
