Thinking about CDI, EIPA, & NIC certification test?

July 8, 2008

CDI, EIPA, NIC, Oh My!

Thinking about that certification test that you've always wanted or really need to take?  Are you prepared?  Beginning mid-August, Signs of Development will hold study groups for those wishing to prepare for the CDI Written, EIPA or NIC Written and Performance certification exams. Here's how they work:

Each study group runs approximately 16 weeks (1 ½ to 2 weeks per unit). Participants are provided with a set of questions for each unit that will be researched, answered, and discussed. Content for each unit scaffolds and builds upon previous units. The content has been carefully developed to ensure that participants acquire all of the necessary information, experience, and practice to prepare for certification! As members of a study group, where the value of the group process is determined by the quality and quantity of the discussion, the learning is developed from the members’ experience and knowledge. Each group is guided by a Mentor Facilitator who provides guidance and ensures that the content is being discussed in ways that are effective and efficient! Signs’ Team takes your certification very seriously and passionately – it is their mission to ensure the growth of the profession and the professionals!

To participate in the study groups, you do NOT need:

  • A webcam
  •  To attend a class
  • To sign in at any specific day or time

CEUs or a certificate of completion can be obtained for participating. Please go to http://www.signs-of-development.org/website/customers.htm#Generalist to read just a few of the many comments we receive about our Study Groups from past participants. We look forward to working with you toward all of your certification and professional development goals!

Readiness Assessments (RA)

The RA provides a basic assessment of your readiness to test in up to four areas for the CDI, NIC, state or local certification and helps determine your readiness to take these tests.  See below to decide which RA is best for your certification preparation needs.
