Early Childhood Education

Early Childhood Education certificate courses provide an opportunity for working professionals in the childcare sector or those with an interest in the field to develop knowledge and skills while earning college credits. Students may complete one or several courses, or they may complete all program requirements part-time over two or more years to graduate with a certificate. The knowledge and skills students acquire provide a foundation for ongoing training.

Admission Requirements

Please Note: Regardless of courses completed, students must meet ECE program admission requirements, including high school graduation or GED, to graduate from the ECE certificate program. All program courses, including practicum, must be successfully completed for graduation.  (Individuals for whom English is not a first language may need to meet NBCC language requirements.)

Course Schedule (Suggested Learning Path)

For those who wish to complete all courses in the program part-time, the following two-year learning path is recommended. Note: online courses have scheduled start, end, and assignment due dates.

Register at least five (5) business days before a course starts.

Take up to two courses at a time to complete all requirements in two years.
