Note: Vanguard's Child Development students are from across the nation and world and it is not possible for us to guarantee which courses will meet each state's/country's formal training requirements in early education. It is the student's sole responsibility to confirm with their local state licensing/accreditation agency which CDP courses will meet their formal training requirements. Students should confirm prior to registering with Vanguard which courses meet the requirements for their state/country.
