CDA - Courses & Workbooks - September 2023

If a user reports the following: I have enrolled in the CDA courses and ordered my workbooks. The workbooks I received are the 2023 edition and the workbook on the CLI Engage site is the 2017 edition. Will CLI Engage update the CDA courses with the 2023 edition workbook soon? It was the only edition available to order.

The reply is: Congratulations on working toward a nationally recognized Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ administered by the Council for Professional Recognition. The CDA online courses available on CLI Engage were created with the previous workbook edition, so the page numbers referenced in the course are not aligned with the 2023 edition of CDA materials. Look for the Functional Area chapters and section headings to correlate with the content. We apologize for the inconvenience and want to reassure you that the course content does correspond with the 2023 materials and will provide the training hours needed to apply for the CDA Credential™ for Center-Based Programs. The CIRCLE CDA Training Program courses are on the project list to be updated, so please look for information coming soon.
