If withdrawal from a course is necessary please give as much notice as possible so another student may fill the spot.

Course Fee Information:

In-service hours meet the needs of most licensing requirements. Eager-to-Learn recommends that you always check with your individual child care licensor to ensure you will receive credit for your courses. The majority of students find they are able to use their Eager-to-Learn courses for in-service hours.

CEU's can be applied to CDA renewal requirements and meet many other training requirements. Eager-to-Learn follows the CEU standards laid out by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. If you are interested in taking a course for CEU's please contact John at johns@mnchildcare.org or (651) 746-4025.

Both inservice hour and CEU amounts are based off the total amount of time a student will invest in a course.
