Description

The PA School-Age Professional Credential (SAPC) is modeled after the Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential.  Learn about school-age child care, child development and the many facets of working with children aged 5-12 years.  Acquire practical skills and knowledge you can put into practice right away.  This SAPC course provides the 120 clock hours of formal education that prepares practitioners to apply for their SAPC credential. The course sessions are organized around the thirteen functional areas of the credential.  An understanding of the application process and assistance in completing additional components required to obtain the SAPC credential are included in the coursework. College credit is available to participants who apply to HACC, complete the program in full and obtain their credential through the PA Keys to Quality System.
