CCDS Requirement
I am wondering how many programs require the CCDS? I know ACDIS requires a minimun of 2 years in CDI to apply. Currently our program requires the CDS obtain certification between by year 3 of employment. For some of our staff this can be difficult if they have struggled with learning the role to begin with.
If you do require CCDS, is there an expected timeframe for the staff member to obtain the certification?
Does your program provide a prep course for the exam?
Thank you!
