CCDF recently issued an update regarding the plan moving forward with national certification. They shared that in order to launch a rigorous competency-based certification program, they need:
- A national certification program that is complete, having been rigorously tested, refined, and assessed to be ready to launch.
- A competent body ready to administer the national certification program -.
- A body that is representative of our sector to govern the program
CCDF's hope is to have an Advisory Committee in place and functioning by the end of summer 2023. In the meantime, CCDF
and NSCDA are negotiating a legal agreement to license NSCDA to use the
standard and associated assets in the context of administering national
certification. The hope is
to be fully launched and functional by March 2024.
If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please contact NSCDA’s
Registrar, Lindsay Guitard, at lguitard@nscda.ca or
