State-Mandated Competency Exams
Education and training are key components to becoming an early childhood education provider. Community Coordinated Care for Children, Inc. (4C) is the Training Coordinating Agency (TCA) for Circuits 9 and 18 for the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). We provide state-mandated competency exams to child care providers in Brevard, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties.
Child Care Training Competency Examinations are administered statewide. For details, click here. Exams may be taken once without training by calling the Child Care Training Information Center at 1-888-352-2842 and requesting to register for exemption exams. To enroll for a competency exam, log in to the Child Care Training Portal and select “Competency Exam Enroll/Unenroll” on the Personal Menu.
