ECE Credential Course

EECI 120-Hour Fast Track Training (6-Week Intensive)  
Our EECI 120-Hour Fast Track Training is a rigorous, high-accountability program for motivated early childhood professionals ready to advance quickly. This is an individual adult learning experience with a structured agenda, clear weekly due dates, and consistent progress expectations. This course is not a fit for participants who need frequent director updates, repeated reminders, or a low-rigor pace.
Meets Criteria Across Credential + Workforce Pathways  
This 120-hour training is designed to meet participation and training-hour requirements that may apply to:  
Registered Apprenticeship participation requirements (training/RTI support)  
CDA (Child Development Associate) preparation and competency-based training hours  
CCP (Child Care Professional) training and professional development participation  
Related Training Instruction (RTI) documentation for workforce programs, including SNAP E&T criteria  
Work participation documentation that may support unemployment, housing, and other public benefits requirements tied to able-bodied employment/work participation
Note: Final acceptance of training toward any specific program/benefit is determined by the referring agency or case manager. EECI provides documentation of attendance, training hours, and completion.
