Course Description:

The ERSEA Administrator credential is an "educational process" of establishing the qualifications of professionals in Head Start, Early Head Start, Migrant Head Start, American Indian/Alaska Native and Early Childhood employees. The process consists of the attainment of a specific skill level and knowledge of regulations and the assessing of the candidate's educational background and experience. A license is then awarded to the professional who meets the standards set for the credential. It signifies that a student has enrolled, attended and successfully completed the requirements of a specific content area within the Program Management area. The credential process usually takes about 6 to 9 months to complete and requires 30 credit units.

The ERSEA Administrator credential is designed to include all the specialized courses in ERSEA to enable students to monitor, manage and report on ERSEA compliance in a Head Start program.
