WASHINGTON, July 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ProSolutions Training today received the national Council for Professional Recognition's new CDA® Gold Standard Training Certification at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
The Council for Professional Recognition (the Council) has been working to improve the quality of early childhood education for children from birth to five in the United States and worldwide. Now, with its new CDA® Gold Standard Training Certification, early childhood education students will be able to find the high-quality training and student services they need to prepare for the CDA exam and a career as an early childhood educator.

"We are thrilled to accept this recognition for the quality of our online coursework, the support services we provide for students and our comprehensive learning management system," said ProSolutions Training President Carla Rogg.
As a participant in the CDA Gold Standard pilot, ProSolutions Training successfully demonstrated that its early childhood education training adheres to the Council's three industry-leading principles:
- Alignment with the CDA formal education coursework found in the CDA's eight subject areas;
- Sound business policies and practice; and
