Answer 5

I get all my classes at this web site some are required and others are for further education, all are very good information and look good on resumes, you need EC1 and EC2 and infants and toddlers but the others are so helpful I suggest you look into them. These classes are for you to order and they send you a book and a packet for you to do on your own time, open book and when you are done just mail it back and within a couple of weeks you will be sent your certificate, I have half of these classes under my belt and I have landed a great job because of it. Good Luck! Your choosing in my opinion one of the most important Fields in the education Field!
